ABSTRACT:
An elongated, portable cage is constructed from a plurality of arcuately shaped frame members to which a net is secured so as to form an arch shaped enclosure. Anchoring cables are attached to the frame members and the support surface so as to maintain the frame members in an upright position. The frame members are formed by a plurality of releasably coupled plastic pipes. The net includes a plurality of sleeves through which the frame members extend. The cage can be used either indoors or out of doors and maintains the environmental conditions on the interior of the enclosure. A floor mat permits the cage to be erected indoors without causing damage to the floor covering. The net is secured to the frame so as to hang loosely therefrom. The frame members are formed of material of such flexibility as to be laterally and longitudinally movable such that the impact energy of a ball hitting the net and/or frame members will be absorbed without substantial ricocheting of the ball.
