A goal frame includes a frame. The frame is mounted with a ball net to form a goal when the frame is in an unfolded state. The frame includes support members, at least one connecting member, and posts. The support members are pivotally connected to the connecting member. The connecting member has stop portions corresponding to the support members. When the support members are blocked by the stop portions, the frame is in the unfolded state. When in the unfolded state, the posts are mounted to the support members, respectively. The posts are detachable. The support members are limited by the ball net and the corresponding stop portions to retain the goal frame in the unfolded state. The assembly of the goal frame is simply. The goal frame can be folded quickly and conveniently by pivoting the support members. The cost of the components is low.

Sports equipment include a frame with an outer telescoping member including a row of a plurality of openings along its length and a rotation-limiting slot at a first end. An inner telescoping member includes a push button that engages one of the plurality of openings of the outer telescoping member to secure the inner telescoping member to the outer telescoping member. A stub includes a pin that engages the rotation-limiting slot of the outer telescoping member to limit rotation of the outer telescoping member relative to the inner telescoping member. The outer telescoping member may rotate relative to the stub and the inner telescoping member to change a length of at least one member of the sports equipment frame.

A net fastener for releasably fastening a net to a horizontal crossbar includes a hook defining a loop, the hook having a free end and a handle end defining an opening leading to the loop, an elongate handle extending from the handle end of the hook, a first engagement element proximate the handle end of the hook and a second engagement element located on the handle and separated from the first engagement element by a length of the handle. The first engagement element engages a vertical cord and/or a first horizontal cord of the net and the second engagement element engages a second horizontal cord and/or the vertical cord of the net, and the hook engages the horizontal crossbar. A method for using a plurality of net fasteners to fasten a net to a horizontal crossbar, and a kit comprising a plurality of net fasteners, are also provided.

One embodiment provides a foldable throwback device comprising a front frame, a base frame, and telescoping angle members. The front frame is adapted to secure a bounce-back surface and is foldable into at least three sections without removal of the bounce-back surface. The base frame is coupled to the front frame by hinge brackets that allow the base frame to fold substantially flat onto the front frame without significant disassembly. Each telescoping angle member extends from the base frame to the front frame, and is adjustable to allow angling the front frame relative to the base frame. Each telescoping angle member may include a rotation-limiting mechanism and a safety mechanism that prevents unintentional detachment.

Disclosed in the present application are an easy-to-assemble soccer net and portable soccer goal. The soccer net comprises a net and a fixing assembly. The fixing assembly comprises a vertical subassembly and a bottom subassembly; one end of the vertical subassembly is connected to a vertical outer edge of the net, and one end of the bottom subassembly is connected to a bottom outer edge of the net; a first space for receiving a vertical frame of a shaped goal frame is formed between one end and the other end of the vertical subassembly, such that the vertical subassembly is suspended from the vertical frame; and a second space for receiving a bottom frame of the shaped goal frame is formed between one end and the other end of the bottom subassembly.

A multimedia crossbar system for goal posts of different spots. The system includes a goal frame, a net, a rear net frame, a multimedia bar, and a transparent display screen. The goal frame includes a front crossbar, a first post, and a second post to yield a U-shape. The rear net frame holds up the net behind the goal frame and includes a rear crossbar, a first rear post, and a second rear post. The multimedia bar includes a support bar, a plurality of lights, a plurality of speakers, and a plurality of sponsor display panels for audiovisual entertainment around the goal frame. The support bar is mounted to the rear crossbar and support the lights, speakers, and the sponsor display panels. The transparent display screen provides another visual medium for advertisement and other similar content. The transparent display screen is positioned and perimetrically connected within the rear net frame.

A goalie training apparatus comprised of multiple catchment voids for receiving balls. Catchment voids are oriented on a grid, and connected to a goal frame by a support matrix. Each catchment void is pyramidal in shape, having an open base for receiving a ball with an initial cross sectional area and tapering to a smaller cross sectional area. The support matrix may be woven through internal sleeves in the catchment voids and connected to the goal frame by fasteners. An anchor support may be used to help anchor the support matrix and keep the goalie training apparatus in place across the opening of a goal during use.

Disclosed is a netted sports goal which telescopically collapses or expands in the vertical, horizontal, or longitudinal planes. The net of the sports goal is configured to collapse or expand with the frame of the goal.

A sport net comprising a frame defining a raised ball portal, a bottom shell extending at a downward slope away from the lower edge of the ball portal, and a rear net closing off the back of the sport net, such that balls entering the sport net are directed by the rear net and/or bottom shell toward and into a ball collection aperture at the lowest point in the bottom shell's downward slope and the balls can fall through the ball collection aperture into a collection receptacle.
