Abstract

A basketball training aid kit, including a support base having a flat bottom portion and a central annulus for receiving an pole, wherein a plurality of first apertures are formed through the central annulus, a goal assembly further including a generally hollow cylindrical member defining and endless sidewall and an open proximal end for receiving a pole, a plurality of support members extending from the endless sidewall, a plurality of second apertures formed through the endless sidewall, and a netted hoop operationally connected to the plurality of support members, and a plurality of fastening pins for insertion through the first and second apertures.

I claim: 
     
         1 . A kit for assembling a basketball shot training system, comprising:
 a generally circular support base portion having a flat bottom portion with a surface area of at least about 0.75 m 2  and having a central aperture for connection to an elongated pole member, wherein a first cylindrical member is connected to the base portion and extends from the central aperture for receiving an elongated pole member;   a goal member having a second cylindrical member with an open proximal end for receiving a pole member and a capped distal end, an annular ring portion, a plurality of support members extending from the second cylindrical member to the annular ring portion, and a net portion operationally connected to the annular ring portion; and   a plurality of threaded fastener members;   wherein the first and second cylindrical portions each include a plurality of threaded apertures extending therethrough for engaging the threaded fastener members.   
     
     
         2 . The kit of  claim 1 , further comprising a generally cylindrical pole member having a pole distal end and a pole proximal end; wherein the pole distal end is sized by received by the open proximal end; and wherein the pole proximal end is sized to be received by the central aperture. 
     
     
         3 . The kit of  claim 1  and further comprising a return portion, wherein the return portion has a first end having connection members for attaching the return portion to the annular ring portion. 
     
     
         4 . The kit of  claim 1  and further comprising a slitted padded guard portion sized to cover the base portion. 
     
     
         5 . A basketball training assembly kit, comprising:
 a support base further comprising a flat bottom member; a top member connected thereto; and a central annulus extending from the top member for receiving an elongated member;   a goal member further comprising a generally hollow cylindrical member defining an open proximal end for receiving an elongated member, a capped distal end, and an endless sidewall extending therebetween; an annular ring portion; a plurality of support members extending from the endless sidewall to the annular ring portion; and a net portion operationally connected to the annular ring portion;   an elongated member having a proximal end sized to engage the central annulus and an oppositely disposed distal end sized to engage the open proximal end of the generally hollow cylindrical member;   a slitted padded skirt sized to cover the base portion and having a central hole sized to accommodate extension of the elongated member therethrough;   a generally trough-shaped return member having a first end defining at least one connection member for attaching the return portion to the annular ring portion; and   a plurality of fastener members;   wherein the central annulus and the endless sidewall each include a plurality of fastening apertures extending therethrough for engaging the fastener members.   
     
     
         6 . The kit of  claim 5  wherein the elongated member is a telescoping pole. 
     
     
         7 . The kit of  claim 5  wherein each respective fastening member is at least partially threaded and wherein each respective fastening aperture is threaded to matably engage a respective fastening member. 
     
     
         8 . The kit of  claim 5  and further comprising an adaptor ring for insertion into the central annulus. 
     
     
         9 . The kit of  claim 5  wherein the flat bottom member has a surface area of at least about 0.6 m 2 . 
     
     
         10 . The kit of  claim 5  wherein the flat bottom member has a surface area of at least about 0.75 m 2 . 
     
     
         11 . A basketball training aid kit, comprising:
 a support base having a flat bottom portion and a central annulus for receiving an pole, wherein a plurality of first apertures are formed through the central annulus;   a goal assembly further comprising a generally hollow cylindrical member defining and endless sidewall and an open proximal end for receiving a pole; a plurality of support members extending from the endless sidewall; a plurality of second apertures formed through the endless sidewall; and a netted hoop operationally connected to the plurality of support members; and   a plurality of fastening pins for insertion through the first and second apertures.   
     
     
         12 . The kit of  claim 11  and further comprising a slitted pad sized to cover the base portion, wherein the slitted pad includes a central hole for the pole. 
     
     
         13 . The kit of  claim 11  and further comprising a return member having a first end and at least one connection member extending from the first end for engaging the netted hoop. 
     
     
         14 . The kit of  claim 11  and further comprising a pole. 
     
     
         15 . The kit of  claim 11  and further comprising an adaptor ring for insertion into the central annulus. 
     
     
         16 . The kit of  claim 11  wherein the flat bottom portion has a surface area of at least about 0.6 m 2 . 
     
     
         17 . The kit of  claim 11  wherein the flat bottom portion has a surface area of at least about 0.75 m 2 .
