[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of sports equipment, in particular to a connector and ball training equipment. Background Art

[0002] In recent years, relying on scientific methods and means to train athletes and improve their technical skills has become a trend. For some ball sports, such as football, handball, and volleyball, for example, to improve players' feel for the ball and their ability to control it, they need to learn basic techniques such as dribbling, passing, receiving, and shooting. During practice, athletes need to frequently pick up the ball, which wastes a significant amount of training time and affects training efficiency. However, assigning dedicated personnel to pick up and throw the ball back is a significant waste of manpower. Therefore, ball training equipment has become commercially available. These typically include a handle (or a mounting base) and a connector for connecting the ball. The connector is provided with a rope that connects to the handle (or mounting base). During use, the handle can be held in the user's hand, the mounting base can be fixed to the ground or a wall, or the rope can be tied to the user's waist. Existing ball training equipment cannot detect and quantitatively analyze the ball's trajectory, making it unsuitable for customizing scientific training plans. Utility Model Content
