ABSTRACT:
A basketball shooting and return center (10) having a backboard structure (12) on which are mounted a plurality of baskets (14). A ball return table (16) is mounted to the backboard structure below the baskets. The ball return table is formed to define a plurality of ball return troughs (42), each associated with at least one basket. Balls shot at a basket are captured in the associated trough and funnelled to an associated tubular ball rack (110), pivotably secured adjacent each trough, for return to the player. The position of the ball racks can be adjusted to select a desired location remote from the baskets for return of the balls. The center enables players to shoot at baskets disposed at different distances and angles relative to the player while the player remains in a single position.
