ABSTRACT:
A basketball retrieval apparatus and shooting system of the present invention includes a collection mechanism disposable about a conventional basketball basket for receiving basketballs, and an elongate ramp pivotably attached to a mast supporting the conventional basketball basket, and positioned at the bottom of the collection mechanism for receiving basketballs and channeling them to a player shooting at the basket. A first end of the ramp is supported by a support arm extending from the mast, and a second end has a base for holding the second end above ground level. The ramp between the first and second ends is self-supporting. The ramp is lightweight and easy to move between different shooting locations.
