ABSTRACT:
A football kicking practice device comprising similar frame parts joined by a front top transverse member to be disposed in parallel vertical orientation, with such frame parts including horizontal rearwardly extending portions joining vertical downwardly extending portions, in turn joining downwardly inclined portions extending to a point of vertical alignment with the top transverse member, and further joining downwardly extending vertical portions terminating with structure at the lower ends for supporting the frame in vertical orientation, and a large rectangular net with a peripheral sleeve along three sides thereof slidably engagable with the frame structure, whereby the net as assembled to the frame hangs in a manner to provide a forwardly and downwardly bulged upper portion, blending with a lower hanging and forwardly inclined trough portion. For permanent installation the similar frame parts can be of unitary structure with the lower vertical frame portions elongated for mounting in the ground; but a preferred adaptation involves a multi-component frame structure fashioned from plastic pipe and fittings and including components providing a support base, the integrity of the assemblage being assured by having the plastic fittings permanently secured to ends of the front-to-rear extending frame members, and having vertical and transverse frame members detachably secured thereto.
