1. A training device comprising: a basketball goal having a backboard, a rim and a net; a center axis disposed through the rim; a defined surface having the basketball goal positioned thereabove a set height, wherein the backboard is perpendicular to the define surface, wherein the center axis is parallel with the backboard and intersects the defined surface at an intersection point; a first linear distance between a point on a shooting line and the intersection point; a hoop target affixed to the basketball goal and positioned above the rim in a position centered over the rim; a floor target positioned on the defined surface, the floor target being removable and having a center indicator and at least one error indicator, wherein the floor target is positioned a second linear distance from the intersection point; a top aiming indicia positioned on the hoop target and visible from the shooting line; and wherein the position of the hoop target and the floor target are configured to provide optimized training for an operator shooting a basketball from the point on or near the shooting line towards the hoop target, wherein an optimum shot is when the operator shoots the basketball toward the top aiming indicia and the basketball bounces back towards the operator and lands in the center indicator and further bounces back to the operator and the hoop target further comprises a body being generally cylindrically shaped and having a hyperbolic parabolic shaped surface, wherein the hyperbolic parabolic shaped surface has a concave surface and/or a convex surface, the concave and/or convex surfaces configured to provide a return origination surface; a target centerline, wherein the concave surface extends outwardly therefrom; a trough positioned on the convex surface, wherein the convex surface further comprises an increasingly angled slope towards at least one lateral edge wherein the convex surface further has a mid-line hump perpendicular to plane of trajectory and extends distally toward back board and proximally toward shooting line; a first color associated with the top aiming indicia; and a second color associated with the top aiming indicia. |
