An aquatic game apparatus and method. The apparatus comprises a water skipping article, comprising a high-density foam material, a top surface having a rounded side profile, a rounded outer perimeter, and a bottom surface. The top surface of the water skipping article comprises a first elliptically extended face, a second elliptically extended face, and a continuous smooth-edged outer perimeter. The apparatus comprises a target, comprising a pop-up board and at least one of a plurality of fillable weight bags coupled to the pop-up board by at least one of a plurality of straps, wherein the fillable bags are configured to stabilize the target on a water surface. The pop-up board of the target comprises an upper surface having a plurality of pocketed nets, and a lower surface having a plurality of integrally formed flotation units, wherein the upper surface is elevated above the lower surface by a support pole.

An apparatus for a bag toss game and method of play are disclosed. An offensive game board and a defensive game board each include at least one support member position on a first side of the game board. The at least one support member angles a top surface of the game board above a ground surface. A plurality of cutouts are positioned through the top surface of the game board, each of the plurality of cutouts to receive a bag tossed through one of the plurality of cutouts, wherein each of the plurality of cutouts is associated with a consequence.

A delivery system and method for levitation is disclosed. The delivery system includes an inlet trough; a queue aligned with the inlet trough; a blocker conduit aligned with the queue; a first blocker and a second blocker, each having an extension through the blocker conduit for selectively permitting passage through the blocker conduit, the extension of the first blocker spaced laterally along the blocker conduit from the extension of the second blocker; an exhaust conduit having an exhaust conduit receiver opening and an exhaust conduit exit opening, the exhaust conduit receiver opening aligned with a blocker conduit exit opening of the blocker conduit; and a force generator positioned near the base end and below the exhaust conduit receiver opening. A rolling object can exit through the exhaust conduit exit opening and levitate above the exhaust conduit exit opening. The delivery system can include a speed reducer.

A modular game assembly includes a central platform and a plurality of peripheral boards removably attached to the central platform to facilitate a tossing game between two or more players. The central platform is supported upon a support surface such that a planar surface thereof is elevated with respect to the support surface. Each peripheral board includes a front edge that is raised and supported by the central platform such that each peripheral board is downwardly inclined. Each peripheral board is in an abutting arrangement with adjacent peripheral boards.

Exemplary embodiments of a game apparatus and a method of playing the game are provided. In some exemplary embodiments, a method of playing a game is provided, comprising providing a first pole having a first hoop and a second hoop, providing a second pole having a first hoop and a second hoop, selecting a first team having a first player adjacent the first pole and a second player adjacent the second pole, selecting a second team having a first player adjacent the first pole and a second player adjacent the second pole, wherein the first player serves the ball directly to the second player of the first team, and providing a method of scoring wherein points are awarded to the first team if the second player puts the ball in the first hoop, second hoop or both the first hoop and the second hoop of the second pole.

A ball sports training system has a processor(s) and a memory storing program instructions that, when executed by the processor(s), causes the one or more processors to: cause a ball passing system to move between a first position and a second position different from the first position; (b) determine when the ball passing system is in the second position; and (c) responsive to the determining, cause the ball collection station to release the at least one of the first plurality of sports balls, whereby the at least one of the first plurality of sports balls is moved on a delivery travel path. The second position is selected to position the second receiving portion in the delivery travel path of the at least one of the first plurality of sports balls, whereby the second receiving portion is configured to receive the at least one of the first plurality of sports balls.

A basketball training apparatus has a basketball hoop with a circular rim and a backboard adjacent to the hoop adjacent to a playing surface. A backboard frame assembly supports the backboard relative to the playing surface to be movable between a plurality of different working positions, in which each different working position corresponds to a different angular orientation of the backboard about the upright hoop axis. By effectively rotating the basketball net about the hoop axis, all the shooting positions of the half court can be simulated while the player remains in one position. This allows for the amount of space required to practice shooting at various points of a court to be done in a much more confined space.

A complete game board (unitary structure) for a cornhole game that can be stacked over another game board in multiple numbers without any limitation is disclosed. The singular design, along with the ability to be stacked without limitation, enables this design to be molded/manufactured using the latest techniques including injection molding and 3-D printing, and provides for easy transportation/storage due to the stacking ability.
