With two unique basketball ball return systems, a defender trainer, a shot trajectory and rebounding trainer, and a court-awareness marker and game set, SKLZ has developed the first complete line of basketball training equipment for serious athletes ready to step up their game.

 

Together, they provide coaches and players of all ages and skill levels with a comprehensive assortment of tools meant to sharpen their ball handling and shooting skills while developing court awareness skills.



Rapid Fire

The Rapid Fire is the most effective basketball return system available-a make-or-miss ball return unlike any other. The return netting gives players the ability to practice shooting repetitively from anywhere on the court-without chasing a ball. By rotating the netting and simply adjusting the backboard attachment arms, players can shoot from anywhere on the court. The netting is designed to "pass" the ball to the shooter for repetitive catch-and-shoot practice.

Shoot-Around

The Shoot-Around returns basketballs to the shooter quickly and efficiently. The automatic basketball ball return is a dramatic improvement from the traditional-and ineffective-return systems that preceded it. Only the Shoot-Around rotates so that you can practice shots from the wing, straight away, or baseline jumpers during your practice session, and spend less time chasing the ball.

D-Man

The D-Man is an adjustable defensive mannequin that brings defenders into your practice session. The game time situational uses for the D-Man are endless: shooting jump shots over to practice proper arc, dribbling around one or more for court awareness and ball handling skills, post-up drills, coming off screens, etc. The D-Man's hands can extend to over 8 feet of arm length height, and loves to swat weak stuff.

Shot Spotz

Shot Spotz are a simple yet effective tool for teaching position play, building court awareness, and bringing some fun into practice sessions. Complete with 5 rubber all-weather disks for indoor and outdoor use, a digital timer, and game instructions, Shot-Spotz can be used by coaches, or single players practicing at home looking for a little inter-squad or personal competition.

Rain Maker

The Rain Maker improves a players' shot trajectory and confidence turning an 18" rim into a narrower-diameter 15" rim. The shot trainer discourages players to shoot with a low flat arc, and will only allow high arc shots to go in. By training with a tighter rim size and, players will focus more on the center of the rim feel as if they are shooting into a trash barrel during games. The Rain Maker also includes a "rejecter" that can be placed over the rim so players can practice reading and reacting to rebounds repetitively.
