A docking tray for receiving a basketball goal includes: (a) a base having a front, a rear, and two sides, the front being wider than the rear and the two sides narrowing from front to rear; (b) two side walls extending upwardly along the sides of the base; (c) a rear wall extending upwardly along the rear of the base, the base, side walls, and rear wall forming an enclosure for a rear wheel of a basketball goal; and (d) a retainer for engaging, orienting, and securing a base of a basketball goal.

A hurdle with movable gate tubes that telescope upon uprights has an automatically movable counterweight inside each leg. Each counterweight is attached to two cables. The first cable runs from the leading end of the counterweight to a cable guide inside the leading end of each leg, then to a cable guide at the intersection of the leg and the upright, then to an actuating rod. The second cable runs from the trailing end of the counterweight to a cable guide at the intersection of the leg and the upright, then to a cable guide near the top of the upright, and then to the actuating rod.

Hurdle with counterweight

An adjustable height hurdle has a wall with a plurality of vertically spaced apart bores inside each upright. A vertical actuator inside each upright and gate tube engages the bores. The exteriors of the uprights and gate tubes are solid so that no dirt or water enters the interior of the hurdle.
