Abstract
A soccer kicking trainer comprising an elongated mounting arm having a loop at one end for seating a soccer ball attached to the loop by elastic bands and having at the other end an extended elbow extending vertically downward for inserting loosely and pivotally in holding eyes which are attached to a vertical mounting post. The mounting arm is equipped with a biasing element for returning the ball to its original position after it has been kicked.
Claims9
A soccer kicking trainer, comprising:
- (a) an elongated mounting arm extending in an essentially horizontal plane and having at one end a loop positioned in a substantially vertical plane for seating a soccer ball, and having at the other end an elongated elbow bent and extending in a substantially downward vertical plane so that said elongated elbow can be loosely and pivotally inserted into one or more holding eyes, and wherein the elongated mounting arm has a biasing means connected near the elbow for damping the impact of the kick and returning the ball to a kicking position,
- (b) one or more vertically adjustable holding eyes mounted to a vertical holding post means so that the eyes are in a substantially horizontal plane for pivotally receiving the elongated elbow and thereby holding the ball at some predetermined kicking height,
- (c) a vertical holding post means for providing vertical support for the soccer kicking trainer and adapted for receiving and supporting the holding eyes,
- (d) a plurality of elastic bands for holding a soccer ball in the loop by means of the elastic bands being attached to the loop itself and encompassing the soccer ball,
- (e) a soccer ball positioned in the vertical planed loop by means of the elastic bands attached to the loop and encompassing the soccer ball.
