Abstract
A pole system for supporting a sports net, the pole system including a net post, a receiver pole, a support base, and a plurality of suction cups. The net post, designed for temporary attachment to the net, is partially received within the central area of the receiver pole. The support base, attached to the receiver pole, comprises outwardly extending base members, each ending with a suction cup for temporary ground attachment. The pole system, constructed from materials such as metal, plastic, fiberglass, or wood, can adapt to varying base member configurations. A threaded screw mechanism further ensures secure retention of the net post within the receiver pole. The invention offers a novel, efficient, and cost-effective solution for setting up sports nets, ensuring stability and ease of assembly.

A pole system for holding a sports net, the pole system comprising:
- a net post, the net post having an elongated length and being configured for temporary securement to an end of the sports net;
- a receiver pole having a lower end, an open upper end, and defining an open central area, the receiver pole being configured to receive a portion of the net post within the open central area, the net post extending upwardly and partially out of the upper end from the open central area;
- a support base having four base members, each of the four base members being positioned perpendicular from the adjacent base members, the base members extend outwardly from a central position and terminate at a distal end, the support base and the receiver pole are fixedly secured to one another such that the lower end of the receiver pole is secured to the central position of the support base, and the receiver pole extends upwardly from the support base, wherein three of the base members are substantially equal in length, and a fourth of the base members is longer than the other three base members;
- and
- a plurality of suction cups, each of the suction cups being secured to the distal end of each of the respective base members, the plurality of suction cups oriented to extend downwardly and in an opposite direction of extension from that of the receiver pole, whereby the plurality of suction cups are configured to temporarily secure the pole system to a ground surface.
