A tennis ball target device is provided that may provide for at least one target element having lettering, a design, or other such visual indicia that may indicate where a user might strike the target with a tennis ball. In some embodiments, the target element may be hingedly connected at its base to a weighted base element, which in some embodiments provides the counter-force to the impact created by the tennis ball. In some embodiments, different weighted bases may be provided or associated with the present invention.

A multicomponent modular kit for assembling a scoring station for a toss game includes an upright member, a scoreboard adapted to be repeatedly removably affixed to the upright member, a shelf structure adapted to be repeatedly removably affixed to the upright member and to hold cylindrical beverage containers and a base adapted to be repeatedly removably affixed to the lower section of the upright member to stably hold it in a vertical orientation when the scoreboard and shelf structure are affixed to the upright member and the base is placed on a hard essentially horizontal surface. A multicomponent modular kit for assembling a beverage station has the same components as the scoring station except that it may omit the scoreboard.

A volleyball training apparatus has a laterally extending arm supported on a riser. A resilient member such as a spring is operably connected within the arm. The resilient member is connected to a flexible connector, such as a cable, that is connected to a volleyball. A series of spacers retains the volleyball away from the rigid arm. The height of the arm may be adjustable to locate the volleyball at a desired height. After a user strikes the volleyball, the volleyball is displaced from its original static position, but quickly is snapped back into the static position by the resilient member pulling the volleyball toward the arm against the spacers.

A group exercise device is provided. The device has a top where a person exercising can obtain balance and positional support during the exercise routine. In addition, the exercise device provides different points of attachment for exercise units. The attachment points vary in vertical placement measured from the floor such that individuals of different builds and heights can jointly use the unit during either solo or group routines. The exercise device of the present invention promotes group interaction during an exercise routine by providing a stable attachment point for multiple users of exercise units, such as resistance bands, and a balance bar accessible in a communal fashion.

A modular weighted base for a freestanding impact bag, equipped with access doors providing access to an interior of the base to facilitate the addition or subtraction of weight to increase the mobility of the unit. The base is preferably equipped with anchors configured to enable a user to affix one or more resistance bands to the base, providing a means for performing additional exercises with the base when weights are installed. An impact bag is removably affixed atop the base. Weights removably disposed within the base stabilize the impact bag for use by a user, preventing the unit from tipping over, or recoiling to injure the user.

A retractable sports goal includes a base housing and a goal frame. The housing includes first and second post sections and a crossbar housing section. The goal frame includes first and second goal posts and a crossbar. The goal frame has a playing position and a retracted position. In the playing position the crossbar is extended vertically away from the crossbar housing section and the first and second goal posts are respectively extended from the first and second goal post housing sections. In the retracted position the crossbar is disposed in the crossbar housing section and the first and second goal posts are respectively disposed in the first and second goal post housing sections. A cover plate includes portions that surround the goal posts. Wheels may be attached to the bottom portions of the goal posts. A counter-weight may be provided to bias the goal frame towards the playing position.

Basketball goals may incorporate folding rim assemblies which can be packaged and transported pre-mounted to certain backboard assemblies. Alternately, folding rim assemblies can be sold separately or packaged with a backboard for on-site mounting. Some basketball rim assembles may incorporate a break-away mechanism using a leaf spring. The leaf spring biases the rim bracket and resiliently resists downward pivotal movement of the rim bracket and rim. When the rim is rotated downward under an applied force, the leaf spring is flexed, biasing the rim to return to a static playing position when the force is removed.

Systems and methods of converting a cornhole game to a horseshoe game are provided. In one exemplary embodiment, a horseshoe apparatus that is operable to be disposed in a bag receiving hole in an inclined platform of a cornhole apparatus comprises inner and outer bases with each base having upper and lower surfaces. The apparatus further includes a coupling mechanism having first and second ends, wherein the coupling mechanism is coupled to the lower surface of the inner base such that the first end is positioned to extend outside a perimeter of the inner base and the second end is positioned within the perimeter of the inner base. The apparatus also includes a stem disposed through and at a center of the outer base. The stem is operable to deflect or catch an object tossed towards the stem.

A boxing or sparring device that fights back that includes one or more boxing bags, one or more boxing arms and alternatively a kicking leg.

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.
