Size adjustable soccer goal

Abstract

A size adjustable soccer goal. A frame has corners and includes tubular members replaceably attached to each other allowing the frame to be size adjustable and knockdownable. A net operatively and replaceably attaches to the frame allowing the net to be size adjustable to accommodate a size of the frame and be removable from the frame. The corners of the frame are one-piece with associated members of the frame, respectively, eliminating small separate additional corner pieces from getting lost, requiring additional assembly, and compromising structural integrity of the frame.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] 1. Field of the Invention [0002] The present invention relates to a soccer goal, and more particularly, to a size adjustable soccer goal. [0003] 2. Description of the Prior Art [0004] Regulation soccer goals are typically constructed of heavy steel pipe anchored into the ground at each of two opposite ends of a playing field so as to provide stable permanent structures upon which to install netting to receive a soccer ball. Playing fields with such goals are scarce, therefore limiting practice and effectively hampering growth of the sport of soccer. In contrast, easily improvised playing areas for basketball, football, and baseball encourage practice of these sports. [0005] Basketball goals of selective height are quite common, so that even quite small children are not dissuaded from playing. Available soccer goal designs, however, are not suitable for use by both children and adults or by smaller than regulation team sizes or even for use on norma...

Benefits of technology

[0012] ANOTHER OBJECT of the present invention is to provide a size adjustable soccer goal that is simple to use.

[0013] STILL ANOTHER OBJECT of the present invention is to provide a size adjustable soccer goal that can be readily disassembled for transport and storage.

[0015] STILL YET ANOTHER OBJECT of the present invention is to provide a size adjustable soccer goal that has less joints which are positioned strategically for increased structural integrity.

[0016] BRIEFLY STATED, YET STILL ANOTHER OBJECT of the present invention is to provide a size adjustable soccer goal. A frame has corners and includes tubular members replaceably attached to each other allowing the frame to be size adjustable and knockdownable. A net operatively and replaceably attaches to the frame allowing the net to be size adjustable to accommodate a size of the frame and be removable from the frame. The corners of the frame are one-piece with associated members of the frame, respectively, eliminating small separate additional corner pieces from getting lost, requiring additional assembly, and compromising structural integrity of the frame.

Problems solved by technology

Playing fields with such goals are scarce, therefore limiting practice and effectively hampering growth of the sport of soccer.

Available soccer goal designs, however, are not suitable for use by both children and adults or by smaller than regulation team sizes or even for use on normally available and limited size playing areas.

The goal, however, is of regulation size and would be incongruous when installed in an available backyard or a like area.

Nor do these goals provide the small sizes needed for use by small children.
