Abstract
A foldable soccer and hockey goal and equipment set is disclosed wherein the goal and the equipment can be conveniently transported and stored in one lightweight and self-contained unit. The goal comprises an inclined net holder having a net attached thereto and being supported by first and second approximately right-triangular upright support members which are hingedly attached to the inclined net holder. The support members are made to be hollow and are provided with filler holes to allow filling with a ballasting material, such as sand or water, to provide stability to the goal when in use. In a closed position, hockey sticks can be placed through rungs situated on each support member to maintain the support members in a folded position and to retain a soccer and hockey ball therein.
