Dribble training system and method of use

A method of dribble training employing a dribble training system, the method comprising the steps of:

• positioning a base unit of the dribble training system spatially, the base unit having a processor in electrical communication with a decoder, with a base unit encoder, and with a receiver, the decoder configured to receive a two-digit base unit group address selection from the base unit encoder and to receive data from the receiver and to send the base unit group address selection and the data to the processor, the base unit further having a plurality of cone indicator lights in electrical communication with the processor;
• positioning a plurality of cone units of the dribble training system spatially in proximity to the base unit, each cone unit having a cone unit encoder in electrical communication with a first encoder, with a second encoder, with an activate button switch, and with a transmitter, the cone unit encoder configured to receive a two-digit cone unit group address selection from the first encoder and to receive a one-digit cone identifier from the second encoder and to transmit the cone unit group address selection and the cone identifier to the base unit via the transmitter and the receiver, the data sent by the receiver to the processor comprising the cone unit group address selection and the cone identifier, each cone unit further having a cone body and a button operably installed on the cone body and operably engaged with the activate button switch;
• wirelessly pairing the base unit with the plurality of cone units as by setting the base unit group address selection and the cone unit group address selection to be corresponding and further by setting the cone identifier unique to each cone unit in the plurality of cone units, wherein the base unit group address selection and the cone unit group address selection in each of the plurality of cone units correspond to ensure that the base unit and the plurality of cone units are wirelessly paired for communication from each transmitter to the receiver, and further wherein each cone identifier is unique to a specific cone unit from among the plurality of cone units to ensure that each cone unit is uniquely identifiable by the base unit;
• initiating gameplay of the system;
• observing illumination of a specific cone indicator light;
• and
• activating the specific activate button switch by touching the respective engaged button of the specific cone unit corresponding to the illuminated specific cone indicator light, wherein the plurality of cone indicator lights on the base unit correspond with the plurality of cone units, whereby each cone indicator light from among the plurality of cone indicator lights represents a specific cone unit from among the plurality of cone units, and further whereby selective illumination of a specific cone indicator light under the control of the processor followed by activation of a specific activate button switch by touching the operably engaged button of the specific cone unit corresponding to the illuminated specific cone indicator light causes wireless transmission from the specific cone unit to the base unit via the transmitter and the receiver of an activation signal corresponding to the activated specific activate button switch, the data sent from the receiver to the processor further comprising the activation signal and resulting in cessation of the illumination of the specific cone indicator light under the control of the processor.
