Abstract

A portable precision soccer game device and method for use on the ground for playing a game of precision soccer including a pair of goal structures arranged on the ground placed apart from one another. Each goal structure includes a board placed on the ground in a leaned position with legs configured to hold the board which includes three cut-sections; two three cut-sections are formed at the bottom configured to intersect with the ground, and one cut-section is provided off the ground and above the two cut-sections provided at the bottom of the board. The goal structure includes a net mounted to legs corresponding to three cut-sections such that three cut-sections, net and board simulate a miniature soccer goal with multiple precision targets. The three cut-sections form a T-section simulating a soccer goalkeeper. The goal structure also includes at least one cut-section provided in the board for receiving a ball.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A portable game device for use on a ground for playing a game of precision soccer, comprising:
 a pair of goal structures arranged on the ground placed apart from one another, wherein each goal structure of said pair of goal structures comprises:   a board placed on the ground in a leaned position with legs configured to hold said board;   at least three cut-sections provided in said board, wherein two of the three cut-sections are formed at the bottom configured to intersect with the ground, and one of said three cut-sections is provided off the ground and above the two cut-sections provided at the bottom of said board, and wherein said two cut-sections provided at the bottom act as lower targets and cut-section that is off the ground acts as a center target;   a net mounted to said legs, wherein said net extends over the length of said legs and width of said board until said net touches the ground,   wherein said at least three cut-sections, said net and board simulate a goal in a game of soccer, and   wherein at least two players form opposing teams to play the game to kick a ball on the ground to make it roll into one of the lower targets, or lift said ball in the air and bounce it into the center target of goal structure of opposing team to score a point.   
     
     
         2 . The portable game device of  claim 1 , wherein said three cut-sections in said board provide a T-section simulating a goalkeeper in standing position in the middle of the goal with his hands out to his sides ready to save a shot. 
     
     
         3 . The portable game device of  claim 2 , wherein said T-section blocks said ball in the middle of the goal and makes said player to bounce said ball over it to score in said center target. 
     
     
         4 . The portable game device of  claim 1 , wherein said each goal structure comprises a rope connected to said legs and board, wherein said rope allows bracing on impact of said ball hitting board and to realign said legs and board to their original position. 
     
     
         5 . The portable game device of  claim 1 , wherein said legs are mounted to said board with the help of hinges. 
     
     
         6 . The portable game device of  claim 1 , wherein each of said legs comprises a leg support provided at the end of leg configured to intersect with the ground, wherein said leg support provide stability and durability to said goal structure when in use. 
     
     
         7 . The portable game device of  claim 6 , wherein said leg support comprises cleats intersecting with the ground to provide traction to said leg to stay firm in its position. 
     
     
         8 . The goal structure of  claim 1 , wherein said legs comprise connectors having a male member at one side and a female member at another side, wherein said pair of goal structures are brought closer facing their rear ends and said male and female members are mounted in a snap click attachment mechanism to connect said pair of goal structures. 
     
     
         9 . A method for forming a portable game device for use on a ground for playing a game of precision soccer, the method comprising steps of:
 arranging a pair of goal structures on the ground placed apart from one another, each goal structure of said pair of goal structures comprising a board placed on the ground in a leaned position with legs configured to hold a board;   forming at least three cut-sections in said board, two of the three cut-sections formed at the bottom intersecting with the ground, and one of said three cut-sections formed off the ground and above the two cut-sections, wherein said two cut-sections at the bottom act as lower targets and said cut-section that is off the ground acts as a center target;   providing a net extending over the length of said legs and width of said board until said net touches the ground such that said at least three cut-sections and net simulate a goal in a game of soccer; and   allowing at least two players forming opposing teams to kick a ball on the ground to make it roll into one of the lower targets, or lift said ball in the air and bounce it into the center target of goal structure of the opposing team to score a point.   
     
     
         10 . The method of  claim 9 , further comprising forming a T-section in said board due to the formation of said at least three cut-sections for simulating a goalkeeper in standing position in the middle of the goal with his hands out to his sides ready to save a shot with said T-section, and wherein said at least three cut-sections, said net and board simulate a goal in a game of soccer. 
     
     
         11 . The method of  claim 9 , further comprising:
 providing a rope between said legs and board for bracing an impact of said ball on said board and for realigning said legs and board to their original position.   
     
     
         12 . The method of  claim 9 , further comprising:
 providing a leg support at the end of said leg intersecting with the ground for providing stability and durability to said goal structure when in use.   
     
     
         13 . The method of  claim 9 , further comprising:
 providing connectors having a male member at one side and a female member at another side of said legs for connecting said pair of goal structures in a snap click attachment mechanism.   
     
     
         14 . A portable game device for use on a ground for playing a game of precision soccer, the portable game device comprising:
 a pair of goal structures arranged on the ground placed apart from one another, wherein each goal structure of said pair of goal structures comprises:   a board placed on the ground in a leaned position with legs configured to hold a board;   at least one cut-section provided in said board for receiving a ball; and   a net mounted to said board at its rear end corresponding to at least one cut-section such that at least one cut-section, said net and board simulate a goal in the game of soccer,   wherein at least two players form opposing teams to play the game to place said ball into said net or hit said board of goal structure of the opposing team to score a point.   
     
     
         15 . The portable game device of  claim 14 , wherein said each goal structure comprises a rope connected to said legs and board, wherein said rope allows bracing on impact of said ball hitting board and to realign said legs and board to their original position. 
     
     
         16 . The portable game device of  claim 14 , wherein said legs are mounted to said board with the help of hinges. 
     
     
         17 . The portable game device of  claim 14 , wherein said each goal structure comprises a top support structure and a bottom support structure extending from said board at their respective rear ends. 
     
     
         18 . The portable game device of  claim 17 , wherein each of the top support structure and bottom support structure comprises a male member at one side and a female member at another side, wherein said pair of goal structures are brought closer facing their rear ends and said male and female members are mounted in a snap click attachment mechanism to connect said pair of goal structures. 
     
     
         19 . The portable game device of  claim 18 , wherein said top support structure of one of said goal structure of said pair of goal structures comprises a handle configured to carry said pair of goal structures.
