Athletic Training System

Abstract

A training system which includes a simulated goalkeeper device that is easily assembled and is free standing from the sport goal. The system may be operated via a remote control system, via radio frequency or an automated control system including a sensing loop in line with an activation system, or any other state of the art control system. The system also includes a unique backstop mechanism to further enhance the training process by keeping game pieces in play.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . An athletic training system comprising:

         2 . The athletic training system of  claim 1 , wherein the first frame comprises a substantially arcuate or linear construction to allow for lateral movement. 
     
     
         3 . The athletic training system of  claim 1 , further comprising a remote control and a corresponding radio frequency receiver system disposed to control the position of the goalkeeper figure. 
     
     
         4 . The athletic training system of  claim 1 , further comprising a motion sensor attached to the goalkeeper figure and connected to a programmable chip and a prime mover. 
     
     
         5 . The athletic training system of  claim 4 , wherein the goalkeeper figure moves and adapts to the location of the shooter. 
     
     
         6 . The athletic training system of  claim 1 , wherein the first and second frames comprise a metallic material. 
     
     
         7 . The athletic training system of  claim 1 , wherein the goalkeeper figure can be interchanged to adapt to the variety of sports. 
     
     
         8 . The athletic training system of  claim 1 , wherein the guide system comprises:
 a plurality of wheels disposed to roll along the first frame; and   a loop cable in communication with the plurality of wheels and a prime mover system disposed to control the motion of the figure.   
     
     
         9 . The athletic training system of  claim 5 , wherein the electronic system is powered by a battery. 
     
     
         10 . The athletic training system of  claim 1 , wherein the plurality of members of the second frame extend toward a top back and a bottom back of the figure. 
     
     
         11 . The athletic training system of  claim 1 , wherein the second frame contains a prime mover to allow vertical movement of the goalkeeper figure either in predetermined steps or via a remote control. 
     
     
         12 . An athletic object containment system comprising:
 an pole mechanism comprising a top and a bottom portion;   a spring system in translational communication with the bottom portion of the pole mechanism;   a support system attached to an end of the spring system;   a plurality of hooks attached at a top end of the pole mechanism; and   a net apparatus.   
     
     
         13 . The athletic object containment system of  claim 8 , wherein the adjustable pole comprises two members wherein a first member fits inside a second member creating adjustable heights. 
     
     
         14 . The athletic object containment system of  claim 9 , wherein the first member comprises a plurality of circular push pins fitting into a plurality of circular holes on the second member. 
     
     
         15 . The athletic object containment system of  claim 8 , wherein the support system further comprises a plurality of arms. 
     
     
         16 . The athletic object containment system of  claim 11 , wherein the plurality of arms fold upwards towards the top end of the pole. 
     
     
         17 . The athletic object containment system of  claim 8 , wherein the plurality of arms are pivotally attached to a plurality of u-shaped brackets. 
     
     
         18 . The athletic object containment system of  claim 8 , further comprising a plurality of L-shaped brackets attached to the bottom end of the pole wherein the spring system is fastened to the L-shaped brackets. 
     
     
         19 . The athletic object containment system of  claim 8 , further comprising a beam welded to the C-brackets wherein the beam is fastened to the spring system. 
     
     
         20 . The athletic object containment system of  claim 8 , wherein the pole mechanism is substantially adjustable.
