Dribble crossover training device

Abstract

An athletic training device for teaching a crossover dribble skill comprised of an arc member coupled to weighted bases where the device is self-righting. The training device teaches players that the crossover dribble skill is low and has a significant horizontal component by passing the basketball underneath the arc member. The training device is self-righting due to the curved lower surface of the weighted bases as well as the weighted bases having a top and bottom chamber where only the bottom chamber is filled.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A basketball teaching device, comprising:
 an arc member, describing an arc of approximately 180 degrees, having a substantially circular body of a diameter between two to eight inches and terminating in a first end and a second end that are each in a same plane when the arc member is upright with a center diameter of the arc member at a right angle to the plane, a height from the plane to a topmost center diameter of the arc member being approximately twelve to twenty-four inches;   a first weighted base and a second weighted base, coupled to the first and the second end of the arc member, respectively, each of the weighted bases having a curved lower surface, and a top internal chamber and a bottom internal chamber.
