ABSTRACT:
A multipurpose game device comprises a stand having a plurality of detachable standards, each standard containg a webbed hoop with a central aperture and a plurality of plastic spider balls with colored streamers. The balls can be tossed into one of the respective targets in the hoops by the designated player or any one of the standards with its hoop can be detached from the stand with the standard being used as a mallet for hitting one of the plastic balls into a hoop positioned on the ground as in golf, or all of the hoops can be stacked together to form a vertical support with a hoop on the elevated stack for playing basketball. Baseball would be played outdoors with four standards forming a diamond. The homeplate standard would be without a hoop and serves to hold the spiderball, which would be hit with a lightweight bat. Football would be played outdoors with two standards and their hoops placed at an appropriate distance to serve as goal posts and miniature hockey would be played indoors using a smooth rectangular plate in place of the hoops, affixed to the stand with special nets attached at each end. A simulated hockey stick would be used for hitting the ball. The plate absent the nets could be used as a writing table.
