ABSTRACT:
A portable basketball goal assembly which includes an anchor, a goal post, a backboard, and a basket. The mass of the anchor is variable to promote mobility. The anchor includes a nonpermeable receptacle which facilitates the storage of a volume of substance, such as water. The container may be either a drum, such as an industrial drum, a rain barrel, a garbage canister, or the like, or it may be an industrial strength bag suspended from a frame assembly both of which are capable of retaining the volume of substance. The volume of substance is proportional to the mass of the anchor. A variance in the volume of substance produces a variance in the mass of the anchor. The nonpermeable receptacle has an opening in the top to allow the user to add to the volume of substance, thus increasing the mass of the anchor. Also included near the bottom of the nonpermeable receptacle is a stopclock which enables the user to discharge some of the volume thereby decreasing the mass of the anchor. The goal post is supported by the anchor which supports the backboard which, in turn, supports the basket. The variable mass of the anchor permits the anchor to provide adequate support for the goal post as well as enhances the portability of the basketball goal assembly.
