Embodiment Construction

[0025]With reference first to FIGS. 1 and 2, a first preferred embodiment of a basketball training device 10 according to the present invention is shown. The training device 10 includes an elongated and vertically extending post 12 having a plurality of longitudinally spaced openings 14 along its length.

[0026]At least three legs 16 are pivotally mounted to a lower end 18 of the post 12. These legs are pivotal between an operable position, shown in FIG. 1, and a storage position, shown in FIG. 2. In its operable position (FIG. 1) the legs 16 support the post 12 so that it extends vertically upwardly from a ground support surface. Conversely, in its storage position (FIG. 2) the legs 16 are folded against the post 12 for compact storage.

[0027]With reference now to FIG. 3. the post 12 is there shown in greater detail and includes a tube 20 which is preferably rectangular in cross-sectional shape. An inner member 22, which may also comprise a rectangular tube, is longitudinally slidably...
