The invention relates to a ball court that allows persons with limited mobility to play a ball game while enjoying making challenging shots. In one embodiment, the court comprises an automatic score board. The court has a raised central portion that extends from the back wall to mid-court and tapers horizontally, narrowing away from the front wall. On either side of the central portion are strike zones sloping upward which merge into the back wall. Viewed from above, the profile of the back wall is a flattened parabolic curve. As a player strikes a ball with a club, the ball travels along the player's strike zone and up the back wall. Momentum carries the ball across the wall and gravity draws it to the opponent's strike zone. The flattened parabolic curve allows a player to make a variety of shots that will enter the opponent's strike zone at different positions and angles. Upstanding peripheral walls with deflectors may be included on the court to allow a ball to travel challenging trajectories through the opponent's strike zone.
