Abstract: A bench construction designed for participants in all types of athletic activities. Its light, compact construction allows it to be easily moved and placed wherever it is most accessible to the players. It provides a convenient place to keep clothing, spare equipment, and other articles such as water and towels that may be needed during play, and it also enables participants to rest critical muscles, such as those of the feet, legs, and back, during interruptions in play. The bench construction is particularly suited for tennis because its size and proportions permit it to be placed right next to the net post, which, without interfering with play, is the most accessible spot on the court.
