An illuminated rim for a roundnet set is provided. The illuminated rim of the present application is an illuminated circular frame attached to the top of an existing frame of a standard roundnet set. The underside of a connector unit of the illuminated rim snaps onto the existing frame of the standard roundnet set. An optional sensor may be used in connection with the game to detect pressure on the net from, for example, a ball hitting it. Once the sensor is triggered, the LED lights may be programmed to go off. In an embodiment, the device may be programmed so that the light may be used to determine if a valid or invalid shot was executed by a player.

An underwater retrieval game system employs a submersible target having a combination of features that make it difficult to locate underwater. The body portion of the submersible target is translucent and has a density greater than water. The target may be tossed in a swimming pool and sink to the bottom. A game player may jump into the water and try to locate the target. A combination of additional features such as size, shape, and surface texture may make it more difficult to spot the target underwater. A submersible target may comprise a detection device, such as a small light, that is activated after a certain period of time or is activated remotely by a wireless signal. A game player may be challenged to find the targets before the detection device is activated, for example.

This invention is a simple method to play a one-on-one underwater goal-scoring sport together with the pertinent field of play, the projectile and the goal apparatus. While underwater, one offensive player throws the projectile toward the underwater goal apparatus defended by a defending player who tries to tag out the offensive player before they can throw, or who tries to prevent the projectile from touching the goal area. Variations to the projectile and the goal apparatus are also described as options for use in the sport.

A mobile trampoline basketball game device includes a collapsible top frame component with lateral support members that secure collapsible backboards in place. The lateral support members are secured in a playable configuration via lateral support posts releasably affixed to door frame posts. The lateral support members collapse down with the collapsible backboards in a transport configuration to fit within a size suitable for transport as a trailer.

The invention provides for an apparatus for the throwing of bags comprising a first game piece and a second game piece, each including a play board and a boat board underneath the play board; a target hole on a rear end of each play board; the front of each play board is attached to the front of each boat board at an angle relative to the boat boards; the first game piece having a bow board at a rear end of the game piece; and the second game piece having a bow board on the front end of the game piece. The invention also provides for methods of playing bag toss in a body of water with the apparatus.

A sports paraphernalia device may be provided as a physical object that is configured to resemble a particular sports entity and that is configured to receive sports entity updates from a sports entity server. A sports entity can employ the sports entity server to send sports entity updates to sports paraphernalia devices to thereby interact directly with fans. Such interactions can include causing the sports paraphernalia devices to provide visual, audio or mechanical output.

A safety screen assembly that couples to or is a component of an equipment bag for sports training is disclosed. The safety screen assembly is configured to be coupled with an equipment bag and function as a rolling carrier in a first configuration, and convert to a full-sized safety screen in a second configuration utilizing the equipment bag as a ballast and support. In a preferred embodiment the safety screen is designed to protect a pitcher from batted balls during batting practice.

The Sports equipment with magnets for ball control is the combination of a spherical ball with multiple embedded magnets and a stick that includes a magnet within the head. A player controls movement of the ball using the stick via the interaction of the magnetic fields formed by the magnets in the ball and the magnet in the head. The magnets in the ball are preferably oriented with all matching outward poles. For example, all outward-facing North poles or all outward-facing South poles. Matching the outward facing poles allows the player to be presented with a more consistent magnetic field by the ball as compared to a ball formed from a single magnet, or other lesser number of magnets. The head of the stick has a two-sided magnet, allowing the player to choose between attracting the ball and repulsing the ball with the head of the stick.

A game apparatus and method of playing a game are disclosed herein. The game includes a game floor mat and a spinner device. The game floor mat includes a start line, a finish line, and differently colored lanes arranged in in parallel and interposed between the start line and the finish line, with each lane comprising a predetermined number of step spaces. The spinner device includes differently colored wedges that correspond to the differently colored lanes, with each wedge including a step instruction defined thereon and a spinner pointer designed to be spun, which results in the spinner pointer landing on one of the wedges. The selected wedge identifies the lane in which the corresponding player should move, and how many steps that player should take.
