ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is a collapsible assembly for adjustably supporting a net for pitching back, rebounding, or otherwise returning various types of game balls, the assembly including first and second U-shaped stand members, each having a crossbar and a pair of spaced apart leg elements, the cross bar being adapted for engaging a horizontal surface such as a floor or the ground, and the upper ends of the leg elements mounted to a pair of hub plates from which the leg elements diverge at a substantial angle to form a stand. An inverted U-shaped net support member has its lower ends connected to the hub plates by way of mechanism that allows the support member to be angularly adjusted about a horizontal axis and releasably locked at a chosen orientation. The assembly is capable of being folded to a storage position in which the net support member is locked in its upright position and the two stand members are rotated to upright positions adjacent and generally parallel to the net support member, whereby the bottom of the hub plate is then engagable with a floor or the ground to support the assembly in a stable free-standing manner.
