• wherein the vertical span of the telescopic stanchion is adjustable;
• wherein the telescopic stanchion further comprises a first arm, a second arm, a radial hole, and a detent;
• wherein the first arm is further defined with a first end and a second end;
• wherein the second arm is further defined with a third end and a fourth end;
• wherein the detent connects to the first arm and the second arm;
• wherein the radial hole attaches the telescopic stanchion to the locking hinge;
• wherein the first arm is a hollow first structure that is further defined with an inner diameter;
• wherein the second arm is a second structure that is further defined with an outer diameter;
• wherein the outer diameter of the second arm is less than the inner diameter of the first arm such that the third end of the second arm is configured to be inserted into the second end of the first arm in a telescopic manner;
• wherein the position of the second arm relative to the first arm is held in position using the detent;
• wherein the detent is a mechanical device that connects and secures the first arm to the second arm;
• wherein the first arm is a perforated pipe;
• wherein the second arm is a perforated pipe;
• wherein the stand is a structure that supports the telescopic stanchion such that the center axis of the telescopic stanchion projects perpendicularly away from the supporting surface when the training device is positioned for use;
• wherein the stand comprises a first strut, a second strut, a third strut, a fourth strut, and a retaining ring;
• wherein the first strut, the second strut, the third strut, and the fourth strut is attached to the first arm;
• wherein the first strut, the second strut, the third strut, and the fourth strut is attached to the retaining ring;
• wherein the stand attaches to the first arm of the telescopic stanchion such that a sixth end of the first strut extends beyond the first end of the first arm in the inferior direction;
• wherein the stand attaches to the first arm of the telescopic stanchion such that an eighth end of the second strut extends beyond the first end of the first arm in the inferior direction;
• wherein the stand attaches to the first arm of the telescopic stanchion such that a tenth end of the third strut extends beyond the first end of the first arm in the inferior direction;
• wherein the stand attaches to the first arm of the telescopic stanchion such that a twelfth end of the fourth strut extends beyond the first end of the first arm in the inferior direction;
• wherein the radial hole is formed in the fourth end of the second arm;
• wherein the first strut is a pipe;
• wherein the second strut is a pipe;
• wherein the third strut is a pipe;
• wherein the fourth strut is a pipe;
• wherein the first strut further comprises a first end cap;
• wherein the second strut further comprises a second end cap;
• wherein the third strut further comprises a third end cap;
• wherein the fourth strut further comprises a fourth end cap;
• wherein the retaining ring is a ring structure;
• wherein the inner diameter of the retaining ring is greater than the outer diameter of the first arm such that the first arm is configured to be inserted through the retaining ring;
• wherein the basket comprises a rectangular container;
• wherein the rectangular container is a hollow rectangular block structure that is further defined with an open face, a basket length, and a basket width;
• wherein the baton is placed into and removed from the basket through the open face;
• wherein the open face is the superior face of the rectangular container;
• wherein the basket length is the span of the rectangular container that is in a direction that is parallel to the center axis of the baton when the baton is properly placed within the rectangular container;
• wherein the basket width is the span of the rectangular container that is in a direction that is perpendicular to the direction of the basket length
• wherein the basket width is the span of the rectangular container that is in a direction that is parallel to the supporting surface.
