Abstract
A portable sports net has an elastic frame. A net support strapping is connected to the frame for supporting a net. The frame with the net attached thereto is foldable into a storage position where it is formed into a plurality of generally concentric rings. Unless the frame is constrained, elastic forces in the frame spontaneously open it to an erected position in which the frame has a base portion, an upper net support portion and a pair of side portions. A pouch is connected to a back surface of the net. A plurality of straps connected between portions of the frame hold it in a predetermined configuration suitable for a hockey goal or the like.
