A multi-game arcade-type apparatus includes a framework, a first goal assembly, a ball return chute, and a second goal assembly. The first goal assembly receives tossed balls in a first game and is attached to a support portion of the framework. The ball return chute includes a bed and sidewalls for collecting balls from the first goal assembly and is attached between the support portion and a foldable portion of the framework. The second goal assembly receives tossed bean bags tossed in a second game and is attached to the bed. A rectangular front-end frame attached to the foldable portion includes a moveable upper cross member. In a first lower position, the moveable upper cross member stops the returning balls of the first game. In a second higher position, the moveable upper cross member acts as part of a third goal assembly for ladder balls tossed in a third game.

An adjustable basketball goal pivotally secured to a fixed support post with pairs of interengaged pivoted lever arms. A height adjustment mechanism is secured to the support post with a unidirectional activation connection bar extending therefrom pivotally interconnected to a pair of goal lever arm supports. A gear rack portion on the activation connection bar is positioned for registration within a double gear reduction drive engagement assembly having a user engagement crank arm extending therefrom providing selective directional rotation incrementally to elevate and lower the basketball goal in relation to the support post. A handle integrated automatic height adjustment braking system is provided assuring the goal assembly is retained in position during raising and lowering thereof.

The disclosure is directed to systems and methods for providing a user with key performance indicators of a basketball player relating to accuracy, precision and improvement. Specifically, the disclosure is directed to a system of sensors coupled to a basketball backboard adapted to provide an accurate tracking of a shot in a given three-dimensional space and extract features manipulated to yield key performance indicators based on establishing whether, how often and where the ball center passes the rim plane at a sub-cm resolution over a period of no more than 200 msec.

A system that includes a portable basketball goal assembly and a rebound assembly that can be used together as a single piece of equipment or split and used as separate pieces of equipment. The rebound assembly has a rebound frame that is supported on a base frame. The angle of inclination of the rebound frame relative to the base frame can be selectively adjusted. The rebound frame defines a first central opening. The base frame defines a second central opening. A flexible rebound surface spans the first central opening. The rebound assembly selectively connects to, and detaches from, the portable basketball goal assembly. When the rebound assembly is attached to the portable goal assembly, the rebound surface redirects basketballs that fall through the net. When the rebound assembly is detached from the portable basketball goal assembly, the rebound assembly is free standing.
