Abstract
An apparatus is disclosed for playing floatball while either inside or outside between two or more players. The apparatus includes a net which attaches between two angularly displaced end posts. The end posts are attached to a weighted base which holds the posts in an upright position. The ball used is spherical in shape and because of its size and weight has the tendency to float across the net whenever it is hit by a player. The diameter of the ball is easily increased or decreased dependent upon the skill of the players.
