<p>A soccer ball goal (10) facilitates practice of kicking drills and play of a soccer ball game by a reduced number of players. The soccer ball goal comprises a hoop (14) having a circular aperture (16) large enough to admit passage of a soccer ball. A backboard (26) has a front face (28) at least as large as the circular aperture of the hoop. A frame (40) rigidly connects the hoop to the backboard. The frame is adapted to maintain the hoop (14) in a position which is in front of the backboard front face, parallel to the backboard front face, and at a predetermined distance from the backboard front face. A playing surface engaging means maintains the backboard substantially perpendicular to the playing surface. A ricochet board can be positioned to facilitate rebounded shots into the soccer ball goal. The ricochet board comprises a second backboard having a front face and second playing surface engaging means.</p> |
