A training and coordination device including a projectile member such as a ball or sack secured to an elastic string is described. The first end of the elastic string is attached to a location and the second end is connected to the projectile member. At least an end portion of the elastic string secure to the projectile member comprises multiple strands of an odd number. The multiple strands of the elastic string in conjunction with the elasticity of the string generate a random motion of the sack when the sack moves relative to the string.

1. A method for improving coordination of a user using a training and coordination device, the method comprising the steps of: providing a string formed of a first section and a second section having first and second ends respectively; the first end of said first section associated with a first end
1. A method for improving coordination of a user using a training and coordination device, the method comprising the steps of: providing a string formed of a first section and a second section having first and second ends respectively; the first end of said first section associated with a first end of said string, and the second end of said first section terminating at a predetermined point spaced from the second end of said second section, said first section being formed of a single, uninterrupted strand portion having elasticity;the second end of said second section associated with a second end of said string, said second section including a multi-strand portion, said multi-strand portion including at least three separate strands and having a length of about one to two feet, said first end of said multi-strand portion attaching to said second end of said single, uninterrupted strand portion;attaching said first end of said string to a fixed location;attaching said second end of said string to a projectile member;freely suspending said projectile member from said fixed location;positioning the user at a selected first position on a support surface;said user making a first contact with said freely suspended projectile member, thereby randomly moving said projectile member with respect to said user, wherein said elasticity of said single strand portion and said at least three separate strands of said multi-strand portion, produce said random motion in said projectile member;moving said user from said first selected position to a second position; andsaid user making a further contact with said projectile member prior to said projectile member returning to a rest position. 2. The method of claim 1, wherein making the first contact with the projectile member includes tossing the projectile member. 3. The method of claim 2, wherein tossing the projectile member comprises tossing the projectile member toward a specific target. 4. The method of claim 1, wherein the moving said user from said first selected position to said second position comprises taking one or more steps forward and making a second contact with the projectile member. 5. The method of claim 1, wherein making the further contact comprises catching the projectile member. 6. The method of claim 1, wherein the selected first position of the user before making a first contact with the projectile member is directly below the fixed location at which the first end of said string is attached. 7. The method of claim 1, wherein making the first contact with the projectile member comprises punching the projectile member. 8. The method of claim 7, wherein the user makes contact with the projectile member and follows up with subsequent contacts as the projectile member moves away from the user. 9. The method of claim 1, wherein making contact comprises kicking the projectile member. 10. The method of claim 1, wherein the user avoids contact with the projectile member after making contact with the projectile member. 11. The method of claim 1, wherein the step of making the first contact comprises propelling the projectile member towards a target location. 12. The method of claim 1, wherein the step of making the first contact includes one of blocking, kicking, punching, striking, tagging and hitting the projectile member. 13. The method of claim 1, wherein the projectile member is a bean bag containing plastic pellets. 14. The method of claim 13, wherein the string is made of polyester material. 15. A method for improving coordination of a user using a training and coordination device, the method comprising the steps of: providing a string formed of a first section and a second section having first and second ends respectively; the first end of said first section associated with a first end of said string, and the second end of said first section terminating at a predetermined point spaced from the second end of said second section, said first section being formed of a single, uninterrupted strand portion having elasticity;the second end of said second section associated with a second end of said string, said second section including a multi-strand portion, said multi-strand portion including at least three separate strands and having a length of about one to two feet, said first end of said multi-strand portion attaching to said second end of said single, uninterrupted strand portion;attaching said first end of said string to a fixed location;attaching said second end of said string to a projectile member;freely suspending said projectile member from said fixed location;determining which user body parts are can be contacted (allowed body parts) and which user body parts are to be avoided (non-allowed body parts) during the training;assembling a plurality of users around the freely suspended projectile member;one of said plurality of users making a first contact with the freely suspended projectile member using at least one allowable predetermined body part and avoiding contact with other, non-allowed body parts, wherein after the first contact is made by one of said plurality of users, said elasticity of said single strand portion and said at least three separate strands of said multistrand portion, produces said random motion in said projectile member; andany one of said plurality of users making a second contact with the freely suspended projectile member and randomly moving said projectile member with at least one allowable predetermined body part while avoiding contact with the projectile member by any non-allowed body part in order to improve user coordination. 16. The method of claim 15, wherein the user makes contact with the projectile member while outside the circumference of a marked circle. 17. The method of claim 15, further comprising computing scores against users which comprise a count for any contact by a non-allowed body part of the user with the projectile member. 18. The method claim 15, wherein making contact with the training and coordination device using open hands is prohibited. 19. The method of claim 15, wherein the plurality of users are assembled in a circle around the training and coordination device. 20. The method of claim 19, further comprising stopping play when a user contacts the projectile member with a non-allowed body part, followed by the user who contacted the projectile member throwing the projectile member back into play. 21. The method of claim 15, further comprising the plurality of users moving in a predetermined direction each time a user makes contact with the projectile member using a non-allowed body part. 22. The method of claim 21, wherein the predetermined direction is one of a clockwise and counterclockwise direction. 23. The method of claim 15, wherein the step of making contact by a player comprises propelling the projectile member towards another player. 24. The method of claim 23, wherein each player attempts to avoid contact with the projectile member with non-allowed body parts and to make contact with the projectile member using an allowable body part when propelling the projectile member towards another player.
