Abstract: A home plate foundation form for supporting a home plate for playing baseball and softball includes, for example, an outer frame, an inner frame, and a tray. The outer frame incudes a bottom and a sidewall defining a chamber therein having an upper opening. The inner frame is supported in the chamber of the outer frame. The inner frame includes a bottom and a sidewall defining a chamber therein having an upper opening. The tray is supportable in the inner frame for adjustably supporting the home plate.

Abstract: A pitching mound form for constructing a pitching mound for playing baseball and softball includes, for example, a plurality of prefabricated frame sections. Each of the plurality of prefabricated frame sections defines a hollow frame having an open upper surface and an open lower surface. One of the plurality of prefabricated frame sections includes a pitcher's rubber frame for receiving the pitcher's rubber. Disclosed are pitching mound forms for forming baseball pitching mounds, single and multiple baseball bullpen pitching mounds, and softball pitching mounds.

Abstract: A form for constructing a foundation for anchoring a pole vault standard to a support structure adjacent to a landing pad includes a first frame and a first plurality of connectors defining a first connecting pattern for coupling to a corresponding connecting pattern of a base of the first pole vault standard. The form is installable in the support structure and operable for use in fixedly connecting the first base of the pole vault standard to the form. A pair of forms may be employed for constructing a pair of foundations for anchoring a pair of pole vault standards to a support structure adjacent to a landing pad.

Abstract: Methods for using a shelter such as a team shelter includes, for example, positioning a canopy of the shelter in a raised position to provide a front facing opening under the canopy in the shelter, and moving the canopy of the shelter to a lowered position to reduce the size of the front facing opening.

Abstract: A cover assembly may include a housing and an elongated cover. The housing defines a chamber therein. The chamber is disposable in the ground adjacent to a side of the sand area of the jump pit. The elongated cover has a first end, a second end, and spaced-apart sides extending from the first end to the second end. The elongated cover is storable in a compacted configuration in the chamber of the housing below the surface of the ground, and the elongated cover is removable from the chamber and extendable in an uncompacted configuration over the sand area of the jump pit to conceal the sand area.

Abstract: A shelter such as a team shelter includes, for example, a frame structure having left and right frames, and a canopy. The canopy is positionable in a first position with a front portion of the canopy disposed at a first elevation between front portions of the left and right frames so that the front portion of the canopy, and front portions of the left and right frames to define a front facing opening allowing access by one or more people into the shelter and under the canopy. The canopy is positionable in a second position with the front portion of the canopy disposed at a second lower elevation relative to the left and right frames so that the canopy disposed in the second position results in the shelter being less susceptible to wind induced tip over compared to the shelter with the canopy disposed in the first position.
