Objective of the study was to test benefits of a computerized basketball shooting machine for technical progress of academic basketball groups.
Methods and structure of the study. We sampled for the computerized basketball shooting machine training model testing experiment regular academic basketball trainees (n=50) and split them up into Control and Experimental Group of 25 people each (15 men, 10 women). The Experimental Group trainings were complemented by the physical fitness, technical excellence and special endurance building trainings assisted with the computerized basketball shooting machine programmable to shoot balls with optional time intervals.
Results and conclusion. The computerized basketball shooting machine training model testing experiment showed benefits of the model as verified by a significant progress of the Experimental Group in the technical fitness tests.

Keywords: software-hardware complex, computerized basketball shooting machine, academic benefits analysis, university basketball classes.
