ABSTRACT:
A portable sports goal (20) comprising a net (22), multisectional resilient poles (24), a connector (26), a support (30) and retainers (32). Corners of the net are connected in easily removable way to outer ends of the resilient poles. Resilient poles, connected together by the connector, exert stretching force along diagonals of the net. A net-poles-connector assembly (31) is maintained in a generally upright position by the support, attached to the connector. Two bottom corners of said assembly are secured to a playing surface by the retainers. A size of the goal can be changed by varying the number of the sections of the resilient poles. The support has adjustable length so, that the net-poles-connector assembly can be set with any of its sides on the playing surface. The angle between the net and the playing surface is adjusted by varying the length of the support and its position relatively to the net. Several goals can be easily connected together to form a goal or a backstop of a larger size. An interaction between the goal and a game projectile, struck therein, is similar to that of a bow and an arrow.
