Basketball Training Method and System

Abstract

A basketball training method and system is provided. In some embodiments the present invention comprises a basketball with an embedded passive RFID emitter that may be actuated by a wearable RFID reader that may be worn on a players waist, chest, or head for purposes of assessing, correcting, and enhancing a player's dribbling skills, passing performance, and rebounding skills.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A basketball training method and system comprising:
 at least one basketball having at least one passive RFID emitter;   at least one device having at least one RFID reader, wherein the at least one RFID reader has a data processing unit and a radio frequency transceiver;   at least one paired mobile device, wherein the at least one mobile device is configured to receive data transmissions from the RFID reader and store the same within internal memory.   
     
     
         2 . The basketball training method and system of  claim 1 , wherein the at least one passive RFID emitter is embedded within the inner lining of the basketball and extends around the circumference of the basketball. 
     
     
         3 . The basketball training method and system of  claim 1 , wherein the at least one at device may be attached to an article of clothing. 
     
     
         4 . The basketball training method and system of  claim 3 , wherein the device may be configured to be worn on a user's waistband. 
     
     
         5 . The basketball training method and system of  claim 3 , wherein the device may be configured to be worn on a user's shirt. 
     
     
         6 . The basketball training method and system of  claim 3 , wherein the device may be configured to be worn on a user's headband. 
     
     
         7 . The basketball training method and system of  claim 1 , wherein the passive RFID emitter is configured to transmit a radio frequency signal in response to be actuated by the RFID reader in the wearable device. 
     
     
         8 . The basketball training method and system of  claim 1 , wherein the paired mobile device has an internal memory and processing unit that stores statistical data.
