01/20/03 Multi-Tasking Hits the Driveway New All Sport Station Combines Basketball, Baseball, Football, Soccer and Hockey in One Convenient Play Station Huffy® Sports Company, the most recognized name in home basketball, is taking driveway hoops to a whole new level. Now, for the first time, sports enthusiasts can practice their jump shot, along with their curveball, penalty kick, touchdown pass and slap shot — all in one convenient system. Huffy Sports' All Sport Station, which is one of 30 semi-finalists for the Sports Product of the Year at The Super Show, is the first basketball unit to incorporate a variety of sports activities, including: basketball, baseball, football, soccer and hockey. "Industry research indicates the average child participates in at least two organized sports, showing that families are involved in more activities then ever before," said Patrick Ehren, vice president of sales and marketing for Huffy Sports. "The All Sport Station takes the world's most popular sports and puts them in a single piece of equipment. No need to clutter up the garage or drag another piece of equipment around the driveway. This product provides a single source for all your favorite sports." The All Sport Station combines a portable basketball unit with a heavy-duty, 4' x 6' x 18" goal attached to the front of the pole. The goal is ideal for playing a variety of sports, including street hockey and soccer, and is held in place by a padded steel frame. Huffy Sports' All Sport Station also comes with two screen-printed tarps that easily attach to the front of the goal. Each double-sided tarp depicts sports-related scenarios for football, baseball, soccer and hockey. Graphics include a football receiver, a baseball batter and a goalkeeper for hockey and soccer. Appropriate cut outs on each tarp offer challenging games of skill and accuracy, allowing kids to practice their favorite sports in a fun and competitive format. Once the game is over, the tarp easily detaches, leaving the goal open for team games. When it's time to switch to basketball, the entire goal removes in minutes without the use of tools. The All Sport Station features a 44" rectangle composite backboard with a durable Slam JamTM rim. The height of the backboard easily adjusts between 7.5' and 10'. The unit also features a large molded base for maximum stability. The All Sport Station is available at Target stores throughout the country. The system can also be found under the Game On Multi-Sport Station brand at select sporting goods and mass-market retailers.
