ABSTRACT:
A game apparatus, especially adapted for children's volleyball includes a net, a pair of standard supporting the ends of the net, and a pair of bases each supporting one of the standard. The standards are formed from two plastic interfitting and telescoping tubes so that the net is height adjustable in a simple way, the two tubes frictionally inter-engaging with one another. The net is provided with integral sleeves at each end which fit over the upper tubes of the standards. The standards are supported in the basis in such way so that they extend upwardly and outwardly, diverging the bottom to the top in an outward direction. The bases are hollow and capable of receiving ballast, e.g. water or sand, and retaining the ballast without leakage. In addition, the larger portion of each base extends inwardly toward the center of the net from the standard, with a smaller portion extending outwardly from the standard.
