Abstract
A pair of spaced, wall-mounted frames support an abbreviated volleyball net and a no-rebound ball barrier which catches and returns a ball struck over the net. The frames are pivotably mounted and may be folded toward one another whereby the net and ball barrier collapse downwardly. A protective screen may then be drawn upwardly over the net, the ball barrier and a greater portion of the folded frames. The frames include vertically movable members to which the net is attached; and, these members may be adjusted to vary the net height as desired.
