Embodiment Construction

[0104]FIG. 1 shows the rebound box 101 where a ball 102 is projected towards the rebound box and the ball rebounds off one of the sides of the rebound box. This is a typical effect for which the rebound box is used.

[0105]A rebound box is shown in FIG. 2. It has an elongate square section hollow tunnel shape having an elongate length of between 100 and 200 cms long by 40 cms to 80 cms tall. It is made from four metal (eg steel) panels 206, 208, 210, 212, each of which is substantially vertical. Screws or bolts 214, in this case pairs of screws or bolts, releasably fasten an edge region 216 of one panel to an edge region 218 of the adjacent panel, when the rebound box is assembled as shown in FIG. 2. The screws or bolts 214 may screw into bores in the regions 218 themselves, or into mounting blocks (not shown) provided at the regions 218, or into some other fixture.

[0106]The rebound box 200 is first supplied to a user disassembled in a flat pack kit having the four identical panels 20...

Abstract

A portable rebound (or deflecting) sports training device having at least a first rebound panel or surface adapted to rebound a ball away from the device, and a support structure adapted to hold the panel in a first, operational condition in which the panel is held generally upright; the panel and the support structure having a second, transport or storage, configuration relative to each other such that the panel and support structure lie flatter (or generally flat) relative to each other in the direction transverse to the rebound panel such that the device occupies less space.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]Many people will have played a game where a football is kicked against a brick wall and the rebound is then played (e.g. kicking it again against the brick wall with one or two touches). This game can be played by a single player or by more than one player, for example taking it in turns to kick the ball. The game helps to develop ball control skills and the skills in estimating the timing of running to meet a ball.[0002]Unfortunately, there is not always a brick wall to hand. Some walls have windows. Some are next to roads. Some are simply not present (eg in the middle of a field).[0003]An aim of one embodiment of the invention is to provide a sports training rebound apparatus that is portable and can be conveniently moved and positioned in whatever desired location.[0004]The invention is not restricted to football training apparatus, for example, cricket and hockey are also specifically envisaged as applications.SUMMARY OF INVENTION[0005]The scope of th...
