Abstract

Basketball return apparatus (10) for use with a basketball goal (12) and which is easily moved to return a ball to a shooter in any of many different locations with respect to the basketball goal. A lightweight frame (16) supports a net (18) surrounding a basketball goal (12) and is arranged to direct a ball into a ball return chute (52) which can be moved to be close to a shooter. Sensors are arranged to detect and count shots that pass through the goal and to count all shots that are made, and a display device (106) may be set to show the shooter's score and percentage of successful shots made. A sensor (124) is utilized in one embodiment to follow a signaling device (126) carried by a shooter and a system is provided to drive the ball return apparatus in azimuth angle (α) and amount of extension of the ball return chute (52) so as to follow a shooter.
