Abstract: A portable system for playing sports and methods of providing the same are described. In its assembled form, the system can have a generally two-dimensional configuration. The system includes a first member that defines an outer boundary of a sports court, and a second member that defines a space between opposing sides of the court. The first and second members can be movable with respect to one another so as to adjust the size and position of the space. The horizontally-extending space can take the place of a net that would otherwise be present in a system for playing net sports. The system also include anchors that anchor the first and second members to the ground.
