ABSTRACT:
A backboard apparatus having a hoop is attachable to a diving board so that a basketball-like game can be played in the deep end of a swimming pool. The weight of the apparatus is primarily supported by a first horizontal member that extends across the top width of the diving board. A pair of vertical panels attached to the first horizontal member support the backboard. A second horizontal member parallel to and located below the first horizontal member contacts the bottom surface of the diving board when the apparatus is installed. The center of gravity of the apparatus is preferably located between the backboard section and the first horizontal member so that the apparatus has a natural tendency to tilt forward, forcing the second horizontal member up against the bottom surface of the diving board. In this position the diving board will normally overhang the front edge of the diving board. The game apparatus can be easily attached to or removed from a diving board in a matter of seconds.
