A training device intended for use with a ball or object, which is to be retained after striking or throwing, is disclosed. The device employs a retaining pouch which is capable of easily receiving a ball without modification or damage to the ball, yet securely retain same within the pouch and provide sufficient strength to prevent the ball from escaping the pouch during maximal acceleration. The pouch has a plurality of apertures which allow weaving of the tether therethrough and when drawn tight, prevent escape of the ball through the, now closed, end of the pouch. The ball can be easily exchanged by simply releasing the tether and opening the pouch.

1. A sports training apparatus for use with a ball or other sports object comprising:an anchor; a tether attached at one end thereof; an encapsulating pouch, having an open end forming a circumference of webbed material, said webbed material including a series of adjacent apertures, wherein the other end of said tether is woven through a first aperture, then skipping at least one adjacent aperture, then through a subsequent aperture, repeatedly around the circumference of the said open end, and when drawn together, close said opening to prevent separation of the object during rapid acceleration of said pouch, and wherein said pouch is formed from a flexible planar material, folded over to form a seamless bottom end, an open end and two sides joined adjacent the bottom end, said joined sides extending from the bottom end toward the open end but not reaching said open end, to allow the unjoined portion to be folded over, thereby creating a double layered portion of the pouch through which said tether is woven.
