Aspects of this disclosure relate to systems and methods for conducting sport-specific activities. Illustrated systems may be adjustable to permit a performance of different sport-specific activities. Further aspects relate to using sensor data to evaluate a user's performance and determine sport-specific fitness parameters. Various fitness parameters may measure reactive agility and/or the physiological state of the user, such as when in an exhausted state. Illustrated systems may have structures with an output device and a sensor. The structure may include a vertically-arranged planar surface to form a wall. Several structures may be configured to form a boundary. The boundary may be automatically adjustable, for example, depending on one or more specific fitness routines to be implemented. Calculated fitness parameters may be visually mapped on the structures of the system. |

Embodiments are directed to a golf training/practice aid designed for chipping, pitching, and taking full shots. The golf aid is comprised of a frame and a plurality of windows defined within the frame. The windows form a grid, each of the windows acting as a target for a particular golf shot. The golfer may repeatedly hit various shots at the golf aid (for example, high shot, medium shot, low shot, cut shot, straight shot, draw shot). The golfer may repeat the shots multiple times, thereby learning the trajectory of the club being used and how various changes to the club head and approach position impacts the overall shot being attempted. Additionally, the golfer may also observe how the ball behaves once it strikes the ground. Thus, by repeatedly hitting at the golf aid, the golfer is able to visualize the overall performance and behavior of the golf ball. |

Goal shot training systems and devices comprise a training covering having a top edge, a bottom edge, and side edges. The devices are configured to obscure a net of a goal, and the covering is composed of a knit material defining multiple openings such that air passes through the covering. The covering material creates negative viewing space by obscuring visual access behind the training covering and forms at least one user-configurable opening that allows visual access of positive viewing space including a portion of the net of the goal when the covering is affixed to the goal. A user may configure the covering to practice shots originating from different positions on a playing area by adjusting the location of the covering relative to the net of the goal. |
