Abstract
A side basketball style backboard with attached hoop and net assembly is herein designed for mounting on both sides of a table tennis style table. The backboard has an upper surface area that can be used to deflect the game ball into the opposing playing area. The backboard is secured to the table by a bracket with screws or bolts as an attachment means. The upper end of the bracket attaches to the backside of the backboard and the lower end of the bracket attaches to the outside edge and the underside of the table. The game ball is made of foam and the ball striking instrument can be selected from a paddle, a racquet with strings or foam mitts with one on each hand.
