Abstract
Basketball passing systems with virtual coaching capabilities are provided. An interface comprises selectable pass receipt locations arranged about a visual depiction of basketball court elements to visually correspond with locations at said basketball playing area a launching device is capable of passing basketballs to. A controller receives a user selection of the selectable pass receipt locations and commands the launching device to launch basketballs to the selected locations for the user to catch and shoot. A sensor determines if the shot is successfully made. A camera records images of the shot. The controller generates a virtual coaching display with images from the camera and a visual indication of whether displayed images resulted in a successfully made shot.
