The invention includes a pole and a base that when detachably coupled stand upright for use as a knock-over target in the game of disc golf. The invention is shaped and adapted to fall over easily when the pole is struck. The pole may be plain or decorated with marking such as target sections or stripes, and the base is ideally lightweight, thin and relatively small, and shaped as a polygon with an odd number of sides. The invention provides disc golfers with a scoring target of exceedingly easier portability than prior art scoring target baskets and that in use improves the clarity of observers and judges as to whether a disc has made physical contact with the invention. The invention enables the game of disc golf to be more conveniently played at locations that are more difficult or infeasible to bring and position prior art basket targets.

A freestanding basketball backstop assembly returns basketballs shot at a basketball hoop to a player positioned at a location spaced apart from the basketball hoop. A net support has a base and side legs, with vertical rods removably insertable into sockets of the side legs and threaded through sleeves extending from the side edges of the net peripheral border. The base is placed in front of the post supporting the basketball backboard. In one embodiment, the net is arranged behind the post supporting the backboard, and a slit opening in the bottom periphery of the net receives a portion of the post supporting the backboard. In other embodiments, the net remains in front of the post supporting the backboard, and the vertical rods are set variably to place the net in different angle orientations so that the assembly may be used either as a backstop assembly, or as a defender barrier in front of the basketball basket or as a barrier or practice net for other sports.

A multiple sports game board system having a display surface that is reconfigurable to simulate multiple sports games playable by tossing bean bags thereat. The display surface including a large diamond extending from side to side and top to bottom of the display area, and having a plurality of equal size small diamonds formed in the large diamond. Each of the small diamonds having a doorway extending therethrough configurable to close and opening an opening extending through the display surface within the respective small diamond to receive bean bags through the doorways that are disposed in the open position to obtain points for a plurality of different sports games.

Apparatus and rules for playing a boules-style game. The apparatus includes one or more specially configured rigid gamepads having a flat upper surface on which balls can roll smoothly, each gamepad having a raised ridge around its periphery defining a base area, and shapes formed in the base area by raised ridges enclosing one or more additional distinct areas. Game balls may be configured to provide slightly unpredictable rolling characteristics, for example by providing them with grooves, ridges, lumps, dimples, or other surface anomalies. The game may be played in an open area with one or more gamepads placed on the ground spaced apart from each other. Gameplay includes players rolling the balls onto the gamepad from a distance. Each gamepad may have a post affixed thereto extending vertically from the gamepad. A bonus ball may be balanced atop the post, subject to being dislodged and awarding bonus points. Points are awarded based on a predetermined point value of the base area, and higher predetermined point values of the areas defined by the raised ridges, and the final positions of the balls and or bags.

A two-player versus game system which can be completely disassembled and stored for easy storage and transport, and which can quickly be assembled into a functioning game system. The system includes a central tower from which a ring or a ball on a string hangs over the playing area. A scoring element is extended vertically on either side of the player area, one for each player. The base of the container can include score-keeping devices attached thereto, such as sliding beads on a rod for quickly tabulating when a player scores a hook on a ring or a ball in a basket. The scoring elements and the central tower both can all be removed from their respective receivers within the base of the container and laid flat within the container, and the lid can close the container.

A net support has a base and side legs, with vertical rods removably insertable into sockets of the side legs and threaded through sleeves extending from the side edges of the net peripheral border. The base is placed in front of the post supporting the basketball backboard. The net is arranged behind the post supporting the backboard. A slit opening in the bottom periphery of the net receives a portion of the post supporting the backboard. Top corners of the net are connected to the tops of the vertical rods. Bottom corners of the net are attached to front edges of the side legs. The vertical rods keep the net in tension behind the backboard.

The display surface including a large diamond extending from side to side and top to bottom of the display area, and having a plurality of equal size small diamonds formed in the large diamond. Each of the small diamonds having a doorway extending therethrough configurable to close and opening an opening extending through the display surface within the respective small diamond to receive bean bags through the doorways that are disposed in the open position to obtain points for a plurality of different sports games.

A sports training device is configured to be supported by one of the below-grade base anchors typically available at baseball and softball fields. The device comprises a frame made up of a net holding portion and a support portion configured to support the net holding portion. The support portion includes an insert post configured to fit into the base anchor. The net holding portion is configured to be rotatable relative to the support portion about a vertical axis. The net holding portion can also be configured to be movedand secured in a positiontransverse to the vertical axis. The training device can thus be placed in several configurations in order to provide a net target in a desired position so that a player can practice delivering a ball to the net.
