Sports System and Method of Use

Abstract

A sports system for enjoying basketball and volleyball while poolside is disclosed. In one example embodiment, the sports system comprises a backboard, a mast and a base. The backboard has a front face and a rear face. The backboard has a first corner aperture and a second corner aperture. A backboard stopper system is located on the rear face on the backboard. The mast has an elongated body having a first end and a second end. The elongated central body has a central elongated opening. The base has a front face and a rear face. The base has a first channel centrally extending the length of the front face and a second channel centrally extending the length of the rear face. The backboard stopper system is configured to temporarily receive the first end of the mast. The first channel of the base is configured to receive the second end of the mast. The central elongated opening of the mast has a length and width which allow a portion of the backboard to perpendicularly pass through the central opening. A method of use for the sports system is also disclosed.

I claim: 
     
         1 . A sports system comprising
 a. a backboard comprising a front face and a rear face, wherein the backboard comprises a first corner aperture and a second corner aperture, wherein the backboard comprises a backboard stopper system having a channel, wherein the backboard stopper system is located on the rear face of the backboard;   b. a mast comprising an elongated body having a first end and a second end, wherein the first end of the mast is removably inserted into the channel, wherein the elongated central body has a central elongated opening, wherein the central elongated opening of the mast has a length and width which allow a portion of the backboard to perpendicularly pass through the central opening; and   c. a base comprising a front face and a rear face, wherein the base has a first channel centrally extending the length of the front face, wherein the first channel is configured to receive the second end of the mast.   
     
     
         2 . The sports system of  claim 1  wherein the first corner aperture and the second corner aperture are triangular shaped. 
     
     
         3 . The sports system of  claim 1 , wherein the first and second corner apertures are non-triangular shaped. 
     
     
         4 . The sports system of  claim 1 , wherein the second corner aperture is located in the opposite corner of the first corner aperture. 
     
     
         5 . The sports system of  claim 1 , wherein the backboard stopper system comprises a lower plate with rails and an upper plate with rails, wherein the rails of the lower plate and rails of the upper plate slidably connect to create the channel to receive the first end of the mast. 
     
     
         6 . The sports system of  claim 1 , wherein the first end of the mast has a circumference that is less than the circumference of the elongated body. 
     
     
         7 . The sports system of  claim 1 , wherein the second end of the mast comprises a wheel. 
     
     
         8 . The sports system of  claim 1 , wherein the elongated central opening has the width of about 1.8 inches. 
     
     
         9 . The sports system of  claim 1 , wherein the elongated central opening has a length of 20 inches. 
     
     
         10 . The sports system of  claim 1 , wherein the base has a plane surface. 
     
     
         11 . The sports system of  claim 1 , wherein the base has a drain. 
     
     
         12 . A method for using a sports system, wherein the method comprises the following steps:
 (a) assembling or attaching a sports system of  claim 1 ; (b) utilizing the sports system; and (c) storing the sport system when finished utilizing by removing the backboard from the mast and perpendicularly inserting the backboard into the central opening of the mast.
