Abstract: The combination container and ball goal includes an enclosure having side and bottom walls and an opening through its upper end. The side wall is provided with an aperture and a movable panel for opening and closing the aperture. In one form, the panel is pivoted at its lower edge to the side wall for movement between a position closing the aperture and forming a substantially continuous side wall portion with the side wall of the enclosure whereby the enclosure is adapted for use as a container and in inclined position within the enclosure for deflecting a ball received within the enclosure through its upper end toward and through the aperture when the enclosure is utilized as a ball goal. In a further form, the panel is fully removable from the enclosure thereby adapting it for use as a ball goal whereby a ball received through the upper end of the enclosure may be retrived through the aperture.
