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 object containment system comprising:
 a set of adjustable pole mechanisms, wherein the set of adjustable pole mechanisms comprises:
 a first adjustable pole mechanism; 
 a second adjustable pole mechanism; and 
 a third adjustable pole mechanism; 
   wherein each individual pole mechanism of the set further comprises:
 a top portion comprising a first member; 
 a bottom portion comprising a second member, wherein the first member is secured inside the second member to vary the height of the pole mechanism and further comprising:
 a spring system, wherein the spring system is in translational communication with the bottom portion of the adjustable pole mechanism; 
 a support system comprising of four equidistantly positioned arms pivotally attached to a pair of u-shaped brackets, wherein the support system is attached to an end of the spring system; 
 
 a hook apparatus, wherein the hook apparatus is attached to the top portion of the adjustable pole mechanism; 
   a pair of net apparatuses, comprising:
 a first net apparatus; and 
 a second net apparatus; 
   wherein, the first net apparatus is connected to the hook apparatus of the first adjustable pole mechanism and the hook apparatus of the second adjustable pole mechanism, and wherein the second net apparatus is connected to the hook apparatus of the second adjustable pole mechanism and the hook apparatus of the third adjustable pole mechanism to create an athletic containment field.   
     
     
         2 . The athletic object containment system of  claim 1 , wherein the first member comprises a plurality of circular push pins fitting into a plurality of circular holes on the second member. 
     
     
         3 . The athletic object containment system of  claim 1 , wherein the four arms fold upwards towards the top end of the substantially adjustable pole. 
     
     
         4 . The athletic object containment system of  claim 1 , further comprising a plurality of L-shaped brackets attached to the bottom end of the substantially adjustable pole wherein the spring system is fastened to the L-shaped brackets. 
     
     
         5 . The athletic object containment system of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 an athletic training system comprising:
 a first frame comprising a plurality of members extending inwardly towards a sports goal; 
 a second frame comprising a plurality of members, pivotally attached to the plurality of members of the arcuate frame; 
 a goalkeeper figure attached to the members of the second frame; and 
 a guide system attached to a bottom back of the figure. 
   
     
     
         6 . The athletic object containment system of  claim 5 , wherein the first frame comprises a substantially arcuate or linear construction to allow for lateral movement. 
     
     
         7 . The athletic object containment system of  claim 5 , further comprising a remote control and a corresponding radio frequency receiver system disposed to control the position of the goalkeeper figure. 
     
     
         8 . The athletic object containment system of  claim 5 , further comprising a motion sensor attached to the goalkeeper figure and connected to a programmable chip and a prime mover. 
     
     
         9 . The athletic object containment system of  claim 5 , wherein the goalkeeper figure moves and adapts to the location of the shooter. 
     
     
         10 . The athletic object containment system of  claim 5 , wherein the goalkeeper figure can be interchanged to adapt to the variety of sports.
