Triple-play game

摘要

A triple-play game (10) that allows three games to be played indoors: basketball, tetherball and target-board. All three games utilize a pole (12) positioned vertically between the ceiling and floor of a room. Basketball is played with a ball (20) attached to a line (14) having its other end attached to a wrist strap (24). The basketball backboard (30) is clipped to the pole (12) and has a ball-hoop (34) having a frontal narrow opening (38). When the ball is tossed through the ball-hoop, the attached line follows and falls through the opening (38). Whether a player makes a basket or misses, all that is necessary to retrieve the ball (20) is to pull the line (14). Thus, the player can remain at the original shooting position. The tetherball game features a safety pole-clip (50) designed to slip down the pole (12) if a force of over five pounds is applied. Therefore, if the line becomes entangled around a child's neck, the line will come down avoiding harm. The target-board game also has a clip-on target-board (60) having a VELCRO TM target-face (62). A safe projectile (70) having a VELCRO front section (74) is used to toss at the target-face (62).
