Abstract: The present invention discloses an adjustable goal for placement on a support. A sleeve is attached to the support. A block is mounted within the sleeve and a worm gear drives the block along the length of the sleeve. A bracket fits over the sleeve and is attached to the block through a slot in the back side of the sleeve. The goal is attached to the bracket to allow the goal to move along the sleeve with the movement of the block. Rotational movement of the goal and backboard in relationship to the support is provided by an additional set of gears. This allows the user to simulate shots from all angles at the goal.
