ABSTRACT:
A bleacher ball bracket enables a basketball hoop to be temporarily but rigidly mounted at a height appropriate to a player's ability. The ball bracket comprises a J-shaped plate that rests on a bleacher seat. The plate hooked end engages the back edge of bleacher seat and is retained thereon by thumb screws, with the long leg of the plate overhanging the bleacher seat front edge. The ball bracket includes dogs that clamp the horizontal mounting leg of a conventional basketball hoop to the overhanging end of the bracket plate with the hoop vertical mounting leg firmly against the bleacher seat front edge, thereby mounting the hoop to the bleacher seat. When the bleachers are closed, the vertical front surface thereby created serves as a backboard for the hoop.
