Water Basketball and Volleyball Game Apparatus

Abstract

A water basketball and volleyball apparatus can be used with a swimming pool, and includes a hoop for water basketball and a net for water volleyball. The apparatus has two pillars, a primary and secondary pillar, positionable directly across the swimming pool. The primary pillar has a base and an upwardly extending vertical post. The vertical post has inner and outer pipes for selectively adjusting the height of the basketball hoop. A horizontal post is coupled ninety degrees with the vertical post. A distal end of the horizontal post has a bracket coupled to a backboard which carries the hoop. The primary pillar has two screws for anchoring one end of the net. The secondary pillar has a base and an upwardly extending vertical post having two screws for anchoring the opposing end of the net.

1 . An apparatus, comprising:
 a basketball apparatus which includes
 a first base; 
 a primary pillar extending upwardly from the first base; 
 a horizontal post extending horizontally from the primary pillar; and 
 a basketball goal coupled to the horizontal post; and 
   a volleyball apparatus which includes
 a net coupled to the primary pillar; and 
 a second base with a secondary pillar extending upwardly therefrom, the net being coupled to the secondary pillar. 
   
     
     
         2 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the horizontal post includes three telescopically connected post portions. 
     
     
         3 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the primary pillar includes two telescopically connected post portions. 
     
     
         4 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the primary pillar and horizontal post are connected together with a ball bearing. 
     
     
         5 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein further including a ball bearing which couples the basketball goal to the horizontal post. 
     
     
         6 . The apparatus of  claim 5 , wherein the ball bearing allows the basketball goal to rotate relative to the horizontal post. 
     
     
         7 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , further including a diagonal brace coupled between the primary pillar and horizontal post, the diagonal brace allowing the horizontal post to rotate relative to the primary pillar in response to a force applied to the basketball goal.
