Abstract
Applicant's invention defines a portable volleyball net and stand which comprises two standards having a set of guys in a "V" configuration connected to ground anchors and adjustable for tensioning the top of each standard. The lower net edge line passes through slots in the standard and is either directly coupled to the ground via two lines in a "Y" configuration, or is connected to guys, providing a single tensioning capability. Ground anchors of a coiled configuration are provided for strength and stability. The line connected to the top edge of the net is directed through a slot in the standard and looped about a fixed ring therein, finally exiting the standard through a second slot, for a different net height. The standards are capable of being assembled together providing portability to the system.
