Definitions
- This invention relates to a sports apparatus and is particularly, but not exclusively, related to such apparatus for improving the skills, particularly close ball control, coordination, and agility of soccer players.
- Sports training apparatus is known, for example from GB Patent Application No. 2332630A, in which a player must successively touch or kick a plurality of spaced targets.
- This apparatus is therefore essentially a training aid for improving general fitness since it does not require the presence of a ball.
- Another known form of apparatus consists of an array of targets on a vertical wall which is intended for use by soccer players for shooting practice to improve the accuracy of shooting. None of the known arrangements are designed to improve close ball control.
- One of the most important skills in soccer is close control of the ball and the speed at which this is achieved, to enable a player with the ball to pass opponents to get into a shooting or passing position.
- the present invention seeks to provide apparatus for improving ball skills, particularly close ball control, and generally improving the coordination and agility of the player.
- a sports practising apparatus for practising close ball control including a plurality of generally planar elements arranged in a generally circular array, each planar element having thereon an impact face having at least one target area facing in a generally inward direction, the apparatus including means to selectively activate individual target areas sequentially in a predetermined or random manner, the target areas being responsive to being hit by a ball impacting on the target to de-activate the impacted target area and to activate the next individual target area in the sequence.
- Each target may comprise a rebound board whose coefficient of restitution between a ball impacting the board and the impact surface of the board is comparatively high to provide a rapid rebound.
- Each target may be activatable by an alert signal, such as an acoustic and/or visual signal, generated at the target to attract the attention of a ball player who is then required by kicking a ball, to impact the activated target.
- an alert signal such as an acoustic and/or visual signal
- Each target may also comprise means arranged to detect ball impacts) and to record such impact(s) as a score.
- the time between consecutive alert signals from different activated targets can be altered, to change the difficulty of the activity.
- the plurality of targets preferably in the range of four to six, is arranged in a circle, with the ball player being positioned generally at the centre of the circle.
- targets may be in a continuous array about a centre but at varying distances from said centre.
- the radius of that circle and shape of the array that is to say, the distance between the ball player at its centre and each target can be varied, again to alter the difficulty of the activity.
- the targets may be free-standing and may be provided as a kit which is portable.
- control unit may be a computer in the form of a hand-held computer or PDA.
- the apparatus further includes one or more sensors located in the floor area. These sensors may be located in a floor mat which is connected to a control unit of the apparatus.
- the apparatus includes visual display means.
- the display means may include LCD monitors positioned above the head height of the player.
- the apparatus includes a canopy.
- the canopy may be supported with a frame and surrounds the circular array.
- the canopy may be a net.
- a second aspect of the invention resides in sports apparatus comprising a plurality of targets arranged in an array in a generally vertical plane, ball delivery means arranged to deliver balls to a player spaced in front of the target array, and ball returning means arranged to collect used balls and return them to the ball delivery means, wherein the targets have zero or at least substantially zero coefficients of restitution, so that after impacting a target, a ball will not rebound to any great extent, if at all, and merely fall under gravity to the ball collecting and returning means.
- the targets are mounted to one or more vertical screens, or curtains, for example, three curtains arranged on three sides of a rectangle, with a ball player positioned generally centrally thereof.
- the curtains and associated components may be packed into a kit which is preferably portable.
- the ball delivery means may comprise equipment similar to a tennis ball server but for use with larger balls, such as soccer balls, being delivered to the player at a lower velocity than tennis balls.
- the ball delivery means may be located at any suitable position with respect to the target array and the means for collecting and returning used balls back to the ball delivery means may comprise a channel or other similar arrangement. If the target array is in a generally vertical plane, then such means may be at the lower region of or below the target array.
- each target may be activatable, to attract the attention of the ball player, whilst each target may also have ball impact detecting means for recording impacts on each target as a score.
- Each target may be activatable, to attract the attention of the ball player, whilst each target may also have ball impact detecting means for recording impacts on each target as a score.
- means are provided for taking a player's score. Also those scores may be recorded and displayed to other players over the Internet via a suitable computer link, such as a PC, and software.
- a connection for a mobile telephone or other telecommunications apparatus for transmitting and/or receiving data, audio and/or video signals is provided.
- the mobile telephone or other such telecommunications apparatus when connected to the sports apparatus, for example, a control unit thereof, can be used to activate the or each target of the sports apparatus, to generate an alert signal thereat, thereby attracting the attention of a player who then has to cause the ball to impact the activated target.
- the mobile telephone or other telecommunications can then be used to record the score of a player which, optionally, could be accessed by other remote players, possibly worldwide.
- the mobile telephone or other telecommunications apparatus could include a video facility for recording images of each player using the sports apparatus and recording a score.
- the apparatus may be provided with a suitable means for physically supporting such a mobile telephone or other telecommunications apparatus with a video facility in the region of the sports apparatus during play, so that a player's game can be fully recorded on video.

- sporting apparatus indicated generally at 101, comprises a plurality of, in this case six, generally planar targets 102 arranged in a generally circular array in respective vertical planes.
- Each target 102 comprises a free-standing rebound board 112 whose coefficient of restitution between a ball impacting the surface of the board 112 and the impact surface itself is comparatively high, so that a ball player 103 standing in the middle of the generally circular array of rebound boards 112 who kicks a ball against one of the rebound boards 112 will usually find that the ball will rebound back or close to the player 103.
- Each target 102 can be activated electrically from a control unit 105 to generate an alert signal, in this case, an audible bleep, to attract the attention of the player 103 who then has to cause the ball to impact the rebound board 112 of that activated target 102.
- an alert signal in this case, an audible bleep
- the targets 102 are activated to generate respect bleeps, as alert signs, randomly. Each target 102 also comprises means (not shown) arranged to detect a ball impact thereon and to record such impact(s) via the control unit 105 as a score. Each target 102 is connected electrically to the control unit 105 by respective wiring 106, 107.
- the time between consecutive alert signals generated at different individual targets can be altered at the control unit 105, to increase or decrease the difficulty of the activity.
- the player 103 stands at the centre of the circular array of targets 102.
- the targets 102 bleep randomly, so that the player 103 then has a given number of seconds to impact the corresponding rebound board 112 with the ball.
- a score is registered at the control unit 105.
- the difficulty level of the activity can be altered by increasing or decreasing the time between bleeps and, also, the radius of the generally circular array of targets 102.
- sporting apparatus indicated generally at 111 and in accordance with the second aspect of the invention comprises three vertical curtains 118 defining three sides of a rectangle, the curtains 118 having an array of targets 114 mounted thereon.
- a soccer ball delivery device 115 is provided through the longer central curtain 118, for delivering soccer balls 116 to a player 113 positioned generally centrally of the curtains 118.
- a channel 117 extends around the lower regions of the curtains 118, for collecting and returning used balls 116 back to the delivery device 115 for subsequent delivery to the player 113.
- the coefficient of restitution between the balls 116 and curtains 118 is substantially zero, which means that a ball 116 kicked against a curtain 118 merely drops under gravity to the collecting and returning channel 117 without rebounding.
- a curtain 118 or a specific target 114 of one of the curtains 118 is activated to generate an alert signal, such as a bleep, similar to that described above in relation to the sporting apparatus 1 , of the first aspect of the invention, so that the player 113 can aim a soccer ball 116 at the curtain 118 or target 114 when receiving a ball 116 from the delivery means 115.
- an alert signal such as a bleep
- the delivery device 115 can be adjusted to deliver balls 116 at head height to the player 113, above ground for volleying purposes and along the ground for passing purposes.
- a football 116 strikes a curtain 118, the zero coefficient of friction between the ball 116 and the curtain 118 prevents the football 116 from rebounding and it merely drops under gravity into the channel 117 for returning the ball 116 to the delivery device 115.
- Targets 114 can be mounted strategically on the curtain, to improve heading, volleying and passing techniques of the player 113.
- a control unit 205 may be connected to the internet via a suitable computer link, such as PC, and software, whereby players worldwide can be networked together to play against each other and have their scores recorded and displayed to other players.
