The present invention provides a sports training device having at least two stanchions, wherein the stanchions are spaced a horizontal distance apart from each other and wherein the stanchions telescope vertically and are portable; a plurality of horizontal dividers, wherein the plurality of horizontal dividers span between the at least two stanchions; and a plurality of vertical dividers, wherein the plurality of vertical dividers depend from at least one of the plurality of horizontal dividers and wherein the plurality of horizontal dividers and the plurality of vertical dividers overlap to define a plurality of zones. Also provided is an embodiment in which lasers are used as the horizontal and vertical dividers.

A tailgating game assembly including a first platform, a second platform, a projectile a first deformable target, a second deformable target, a third deformable target, and a club. In use, the club is used to hit the projectile off of the platform towards the three deformable targets. The game is meant to simulate the chipping aspect of golf. The club included in the assembly is capable of height adjustment, and is suitable for both right and left handed competitors. The projectile included may be a golf ball, a shuttlecock, or any projectile suitable to strike with a club.

A paddleball training apparatus and methods are provided for practicing paddle sports, such as pickleball, in absence of a court. The paddleball training apparatus comprises a rectangular box having a front end and a rear end. A top playing surface includes holes for receiving balls hit by players while an undersurface allows the balls to roll inside the box toward a ball trough adjacent to the rear end. A net indicator on the top playing surface between a first hole and a second hole represents a net over which players must hit balls to score game points. The first hole adjacent to the front end represents a ball that falls short of passing over the net. The second hole is just beyond the net indicator and represents an ideal shot just over the net. Third and fourth holes are farther from the net indicator and represent diminishing scores.

The present application provides a gameboard that includes: a planar backboard having a pair of slots therein at laterally opposing ends of the planar backboard; a planar baseboard; and a pair of leg structures hingedly coupled to a bottom side of the planar baseboard, each of the pair of leg structure being configured to pivot inward toward a center of the planar baseboard between a folded position and an unfolded position. The pair of leg structures each have a half lap slot at a distal end of the leg structure, such that the planar backboard may be removably coupled to the planar baseboard, at a distal end of the planar baseboard, by fitting the half lap slot of each of the leg structures into one of the pair of slots in the planar backboard.

A multi-configurable bean bag tossing game is provided which features a body having bins depending into a top surface. The top surface of the body is removably engageable with any of a plurality of game slats each of which position game indicia and a plurality of slat apertures aligned with some or all of the bins in the top of the body thereby allowing users to change the game being played by changing the game slat. A transit slat is also engageable with the top of the body to form a table, and support frame is engageable with the body to form a storage cavity for the game slats, and provide both wheeled support for rolling the device along with folding legs to support the assembled device.

A goalpost for football games and the like has a pair of parallel uprights that may be moved toward and away from one another by a motor driven mechanism. A control system for driving the motor has an input signal. based on the sound level produced by spectators at a game and/or the number of Internet messages generated by TV spectators. The spectators produce a crowd roar or Internet messages when a kick through the uprights is to occur.

A convertible game system configured to be used by a player at home who wishes to practice skills from multiple sports on an apparatus that does not require extensive space requirements. The game system has a frame, with a hopper section and a mounting section, a ball return, and a rotational component. The rotational component is mounted to the frame at the mounting section by a locking bearing system. For use, a player unlocks the locking bearing system, rotates the rotational component to display the desired game face, then re-locks the locking bearing system before beginning game play. The rotational component can have as few as 3 faces, and as many as 8 faces.

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, coordinate dynamic adjustments of a trailer based in part on a user profile associated with a user physically present at the trailer and an activity profile associated with an activity selected to be performed at the trailer. A dynamic adjustment may modify a tilt of a lower surface of the trailer. A dynamic adjustment may modify a dimension(s) of the trailer based in part on a detected object(s). Various dynamic adjustments may occur concurrently, individually and/or sequentially. The trailer may be a moveable trailer for temporary attachment with a vehicle.

A trainer is disclosed which is useful for developing skill in sports of coordination including for instance beer-pong.
