Abstract
The invention is that of a lacrosse ball collection apparatus fabricated from materials such as plastics, metals and fabrics. The apparatus comprises a fabric which when in its open position forms a substantially triangular horizontal surface capable of fitting inside a lacrosse goal. When lacrosse balls are shot into the goal, they collect on the fabric. The apparatus is foldable at a front joint and comprises a spout located behind the front joint and in close proximity thereto, such that the apparatus may be used to carry the balls to a collection receptacle, where they may be poured out of the spout into the receptacle for reuse. The apparatus is further foldable at two side joints such that an apical joint is foldable toward the front joint and two front member segments are foldable inward to render the apparatus in a compact, closed position suitable for storage in small spaces.
