Abstract: A frame for a lacrosse goal is disclosed which comprises two upright frame members, a crossbar frame member joining the upper ends of the upright members defining a plane and enclosing that portion which constitutes a goal mouth, and a base perpendicular thereto, which base is comprised of two leg members, each of which joins one of the uprights at its lower end and interconnects with the other leg member at the rear of the base, in which a first portion of each leg immediately rearward of the goal mouth, forms an obtuse angle with the plane of the goal mouth, and a second portion of each leg, beginning at a point disposed at a distance from the plane of the goal mouth, forms an acute angle with the plane of the goal mouth.
