ABSTRACT:
The double purpose goal structure makes possible two different types of scoring during a game like soccer, rugby, English football, or the like when a more conventional score may be made by the act of driving the ball into a lower netted "cage" section or through upper "field goal" frame when the ball may be kicked or otherwise driven for this goal over the heads of most intervening players from midfield points that would be less likely to be achieved if directed only toward the lower "cage" goal part of the double purpose goal structure.
The double purpose goal structure includes a pair of spaced apart vertical post elements having attached thereto a screened framework positioned therebetween and extending rearward thereof to define a ball-trapping first goal opening. The post elements are of a height to extend a predetermined distance above the first goal opening.
A crossbar is extended between and attached to the post elements at a predetermined height above and in the same plane of the mouth of the first goal opening to define a second goal opening; the second goal permitting a ball to pass freely therethrough. Thus the dual purpose goal structure provides two alternate options for scoring in a single goal structure.
