ABSTRACT:
A sports net having a rectangular frame with a lower, ground-engaging portion. A net is stretched over and fixed to the frame. The forward end of a base support is pivotally connected to a lower rearward portion of the ground-engaging frame portion, with the base support projecting horizontally away from the ground-engaging frame portion, without impeding ground engagement thereof. One end of a longitudinally adjustable tilt support is pivotally connected to an upper portion of the frame. The opposite end of the tilt support is pivotally connected to the rearward end of the base support. The base support and the tilt support are sized for longitudinal adjustment of the tilt support in any one of a range of positions to place the base support at an angle of between about 0.degree. and 90.degree. relative to the frame. In the 0.degree. position the sports net structure is collapsed for compact storage. The tilt support can be fixed in any of the other positions to provide different rebound characteristics for balls or other objects projected onto the net.
