Sports targeting system

Abstract

The multidimensional interchangeable modular ball game apparatus/sports targeting system is used for building game playing skills, such as hand-to-eye and foot-to-eye coordination. The apparatus can be used for throwing, kicking or hitting any type of sports ball or projectile and can help with practicing all types of sports, as well as with early childhood development and rehabilitation. The apparatus includes a base with a stem extending from the base. Multiple stems and/or bases may be joined for use with hoops and targets of various sizes, shapes and colors, made of open or closed nets, hard or soft backboard(s). Arms of different lengths are supported on the stem. The arms may also be placed at different heights on the stem.
