ABSTRACT:
A basketball safety return apparatus utilizes a plurality of moveable pole support bases and a plurality of poles adapted to be mounted vertically in the pole support bases. Netting is connected to the vertically mounted poles and the poles and bases are mounted and arranged so that the netting forms a barrier behind the basketball hoop and along at least one side. The basketball safety return apparatus may be readily assembled, positioned, disassembled and stored. The inexpensive apparatus of the present invention prevents the basketball from rolling into the neighbor's yards and more importantly from rolling down a driveway into a street where it may be retrieved without sufficient attention to avoid a child being hit by a vehicle approaching on a street.
