Abstract: A volleyball practice system that includes a support frame with a pair of post supports. Each of the post supports being mounted on a base that is supported on wheels, and the pair of post supports being connected to one another by a telescoping or adjustable horizontal member. A backdrop net with a pair of opposite ends along a lower edge that are adapted for tethering to an anchoring point supported by the post supports, so that the opposite ends of the lower edge of the backdrop net may be raised or lowered relative to the upper edge of the backdrop net, so that the backdrop may be used to retain or release balls by adjusting the height of the opposite ends of the backdrop net.

Abstract: A volleyball practice system that includes a generally rectangular first flexible panel supported from a pair of vertical supports, and at least one connector of adjustable length extending from at least one of the lower opposing corners of the first flexible panel. A second flexible panel that is smaller than the first flexible panel is supported in a generally parallel fashion from the first flexible panel. The first flexible panel extends below the second flexible panel, so that a trough area is created below the lower edge of the volleyball net when at least one of the lower opposing corners is suppported from the vertical supports.
