ABSTRACT:
A sports target system adapted for use in connection with a backdrop, is generally composed of at least one resiliently stretchable cord having hooks at each end thereof, such as a conventional stretch cord, and at least one flaccidly flexible target, such as a cloth material having a predetermined color and/or indicia thereupon. The target is provided with a loop for receiving slidably therein the resiliently stretchable cord. In operation, the user places one or more targets onto the resiliently stretchable cord by passage of the resiliently stretchable cord through the loop of each of the targets. The hooks at each end of the resiliently stretchable cord are then hookably engaged with the left and right sides of the backdrop, such as the frame of a hockey goal. The one or more targets which hang downwardly from the resiliently stretchable cord, are now slid into a selected target practice position. A selectively removable target may be provided having a loop which is selectively openable and closable, such as by a hook and loop fastener, so that the removable target may be added or removed even while the resiliently stretchable cord is strung across the backdrop.
