Abstract
Abstract A frame defining a goal opening and a plurality of readily attachable and detachable panels cooperate to form a goal shield. A plurality of fasteners are provided on the frame and adjacent sides of the panels for interlocking the panels and the frame. Selected panels are removed by disengaging certain fasteners to form random target areas in different locations in the goal opening. Plates are rotatably mounted to the panels about through holes formed in the panels, additional target areas being provided when the plates are rotated to expose the through holes.
