Abstract

The invention relates to a portable net supporting apparatus having a pair of substantially upright net supporting posts held in predetermined spaced relationship by a rigid rod-like member which may be laid on the floor or ground. A net or the like is attached between the tops of the posts and when strained causes the posts to flex whereby the net cord is held taut. Lateral supporting legs attached to the posts prevent the net from falling over such as when struck by a ball.
