ABSTRACT:
A modified basketball game that can be played by a person confined to a bed or a wheelchair. The player throws a reduced size basket ball at or through a basket ball hoop. The ball is returned to the player by a recovery device consisting of a net deployed below the basket ball hoop and backboard at one end and attached to the player at the other end. An alternative embodiment uses adhesive coated balls which are thrown at the backboard and attach themselves to the backboard through a net material. When the net material is forced away from the backboard the balls fall into the recovery device and are returned to the player.
