Abstract: A scoring system for a ball activity area is provided. The ball activity area includes a plurality of activity stations, each of which has one or more hoops or tubes through which balls can be thrown. The hoops and tubes are provided with sensors which determine when a ball passes through the hoop or tube, or contacts the hoop. The sensors are in communication with a controller which receives the signals from the sensors. When the controller receives a signal from a sensor, it adds a predetermined number points to a counter, and displays the point total on a score board. The points awarded for different activity stations can be varied depending on the difficulty of passing a ball through the hoop or tube in an activity station.

Abstract: An interactive target system includes a laser station and a plurality of light activated targets. The laser station includes a light emitting device operable to fire discreet beams of light at the targets. The laser station also includes an activity-associated charging apparatus having an activity device at which a participant performs an activity. A detector which monitors performance of the activity at the activity device. A controller is operatively connected to the light emitting device to limit the number of times the light emitting device can be activated. The controller reduces the number of times the light emitting device can be activated each time the device is activated. The controller also receives a signal from the detector, and, in response to the detector signal increments the number of times the light emitting device can be activated.

Abstract: An enclosed play area comprises a front wall, a back wall, side walls, and a ceiling which define an enclosed area. The front, back, and side walls, and the ceiling are formed from intersecting frame members which define an area having a geometric shape. One or more activity stations are mounted to the frame members in the enclosure. Each activity station comprises at least one tub in which one or more hoops are mounted, the hoops being sized to allow a ball to be thrown through the hoops. The tub has a rim defining a mouth, wall surfaces extending rearwardly from the rim, and a back. The rim has a geometric shape corresponding to the geometric shape of the area defined by the frame members. The tub is mounted to the frame members such that the mouth of the tub does not protrude substantially into the play area. Preferably, the front, back, and side walls, and the ceiling are covered by a transparent or see-through material.
