Football Tuck

Abstract

A training device to develop muscle memory for better ball handling skills for football players. The device comprises a flat stretchable elastic material that is joined to form one arm loop at one end then stretched with a single strap to a finger loop at the other end. The finger loop fits over the index finger. The arm loop is used for the football player to slide up his arm and to fit over the upper part of the bicep. Once in place the football players arm will have correct form to hold the football. At this point the strap will act as a spring so the football player can be trained to have correct control of the football. A football tuck is made of a flat stretchable elastic which causes the arm to form a perfect tuck for the football to fit inside.
