The present invention as described herein is a compact and portable ballet training station or kit. The training station comprises a collapsible bane with supporting bases, a foldable ballet mat, a folding mirror, and a compact carrying case. The collapsible barre is comprised of three bars, each bar with semi detachable segments positioned equidistant along each bar. Upon assembly the bars connect to each other to form a bane which is supported by bases. The foldable mat is made of one contiguous flexible matter which is sufficient to support and cushion the weight of a ballerina. The foldable mirror is made of one contiguous material capable of being coated with reflective material on one side and opaque material on the opposing side. These components are collapsed or folded into a hard shell quadrilateral shaped carrying case for easy storage and transport.

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.

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.

The disclosure herein is directed to a gaming system that comprises a game board, a field position indicator, a line of scrimmage stick, projectiles, and a method of play involving these components. The game board can be configured to hinge at a location that is conducive for storage.

A fast folding structure of a basketball backstop includes two bilaterally symmetric standpipes, two connecting rods riveted with each other in an X-shape, and two Y-shaped leg assemblies. The connecting rods are movably connected with the standpipes respectively. The leg assemblies are installed respectively on the standpipes, and each leg assembly includes a leg tube and a strut. A top of the strut is riveted to the leg tube, and a bottom of the strut is riveted to the standpipe. The movable connection is realized through a sliding block fitting on the standpipe. A backboard is assembled between the top ends of standpipes. Upon collecting the basketball backstop, the sliding block ascends along the standpipe; whereas the connecting rods, leg assemblies, and standpipes converge together gradually to implement the fast folding of the basketball backstop and the increase or decrease of rings flexibly.

An end assembly for a dance exercise pole. The end assembly comprises: an end part; and a connector configured for connection to a dance pole. A first engagement element is connected to the connector; and there is a second engagement element engageable with the first engagement element. A movable element is movable between a first position and a second position to move at least one of the first engagement element or the second engagement element and thereby switch the end part respectively between: a first configuration with the first engagement element disengaged from the second engagement element, with the connector capable of rotation relative to the end part; and a second configuration with the first engagement element engaged with the second engagement element to restrict the rotation relative to the end part.
