Abstract: A soccer ball goal facilitates practice of kicking drills and play of a soccer ball game by a reduced number of players. The soccer ball goal comprises a hoop having a circular aperture large enough to admit passage of a soccer ball. A backboard has a front face which at least as large as the circular aperture of the hoop. A frame rigidly connects the hoop to the backboard. The frame is adapted to maintain the hoop in a position which is in front of the backboard front face, parallel to the backboard front face, and at predetermined distance from the backboard front face. A playing surface engaging means maintains the backboard substantially perpendicular to the playing surface. A ricochet board can be positioned to facilitate rebounded shots into the soccer ball goal.

Abstract: A corner basketball hoop support facilitates playing of basketball in a small indoor area. In particular, a basketball hoop device is comprised of a three-sided triangular rim and leg members. The legs members are attached to the triangular rim at their lower ends and to a basketball rim above the triangular rim at their upper ends. Also an inverted J-shaped rod, a backboard, a bracket, and straight support members form a basketball hoop device. The inverted J-shaped rod has a longer portion, secured to the corner of a room, while the shorter portion extends out from the corner and is secured to the posterior surface of a backboard. The backboard also has outer edges which are wedged securely against the corner walls for support. A bracket with supporting members is attached to the anterior surface of the backboard to support a basketball hoop.
