A ball game and method of playing a ball game. The ball game includes a spherical, air-filled ball, a first backboard mounted on a first support pole at a predetermined height above a first end of a playing court, the first backboard comprising a pair or first hoops mounted on the first backboard, the pair of first hoops being set apart a predetermined distance from one another, and being angled with respect to a horizontal plane defined by the playing court. The pair of first hoops have a diameter that is larger than the diameter of the spherical, air-filled ball.

Systems and methods described herein may provide an adjustable magnetic attachment force for flag football and for determining a location in flag football. In some embodiments, a system comprises a flag and a wearable item, wherein the flag and the wearable item are configured such that a magnetic attachment force exerted between a first connector and a second connector attaches the flag to the wearable item. In some embodiments, a set comprises one or more flags and one or more wearable items, wherein an adjustable magnetic attachment force attaching the flags and wearable items is adjusted by replacing one or more magnetic components. In some embodiments, a system comprising a flag and a wearable item is configured to detect that contact between a first connector and a second connector has been broken and to automatically indicate a location associated with the contact being broken.

The sports training system includes a first housing including a transmitter; a second housing including a receiver and a wireless communication module; a plurality of illuminating targets in communication with the wireless communication module; and a remote control in wireless communication with the transmitter, the receiver, and the plurality of illuminating targets. In operation, the transmitter projects a transmission and the receiver is positioned laterally away from the transmitter and receives the transmission. In response to an object passing between the transmitter and receiver, the receiver is blocked from receiving the transmission. In response to the receiver being blocked from receiving the transmission, a selected one of the targets illuminates. Input from the remote control controls operation of one of the transmitter, the receiver, or one of the plurality of illuminating targets.

A bucket caddy stably holds a bucket or container above a horizontal support surface or ground for easier access to the contents of the bucket or container. The bucket caddy has a retainer with slots into which at least three legs are movably joined. The legs each have a shelf surface and a hook (U-shaped or crimped) or upstanding wall disposed at their proximal ends. When splayed apart, the shelf surfaces point radially inwardly toward the retainer with their top surfaces in a common plane onto which the bottom of the bucket may be positioned. The hooks receive straps or elastic bands, each of which has a fastener at its opposite end adapted to join a portion of a rim of the bucket. Length-adjustable means are associated with straps that are not elastic. Alternatively, belts or screws provide three point connection between the legs and the sidewall of the bucket. After the bucket or container is separated from the caddy, the legs rotate so that their central axes are parallel or substantially parallel to one another in a storage configuration. A hook and loop fastener tape wraps around the legs in the storage configuration.

A water floatable bag toss target, the target including a landing surface disposed overlying a bottom surface by a left side, a right side, a front end and a back end each joined to the landing surface and bottom surface. The landing surface is positively sloped along its surface when moving from the front end toward the back end and the bottom surface is oriented horizontally. A scoring hole is in the landing surface and communicating with a scoring box compartment located between the landing surface and the bottom surface. The scoring box compartment has compartment walls extending between the landing surface and the bottom surface and dividing an inside of the target into an internal hollow compartment and the scoring box compartment. The internal hollow compartment is water-tight relative to the scoring box compartment and relative to an outside of the target.

A kit of parts for playing a tag game in low-light conditions includes first and second base markers, first and second plurality of team identifiers, and first and second plurality of batons. The base markers, team identifiers and the batons emit light.

A unique apparatus and method for a hand toss-catch game is provided to a user for recreational and competitive gameplays. The apparatus includes a foldable game board of two panels connected with a hinge and a bracket to allow for quick deployment and storage. The panels incorporate various holes and bumps to facilitate increased difficulty. The method allows at least two teams to play and/or compete. Each player starts by tossing a ball to the game board at a starting position and catching the rebounding ball while remaining at the position. The player then plays toss-catch at each of the intermediate positions by stepping away to the next position until a finishing position. The gameplay switches to another team on the opposite side of the game board if the player does not catch the ball. The player/team with the highest number of positions played wins the game.
