The invention relates to a ball court that allows persons with limited mobility
to play a ball game while enjoying making challenging shots. One embodiment comprises
an automatic score board. The court has a raised central portion that extends from
the back wall to mid-court, tapering horizontally, narrowing away from the front
wall. On either side of the central portion are strike zones sloping upward which
merge into the back wall. As a player strikes a ball with a club, the ball travels
along the player's strike zone and up the back wall. Momentum carries the ball
across the wall and gravity draws it to the opponent's strike zone. The flattened
parabolic curve allows a player to make a variety of shots that will enter the
opponent's strike zone at different positions and angles. Upstanding peripheral
walls with deflectors may be included on the court to allow a ball to travel challenging
trajectories through the opponent's strike zone.
