[0012]Figure I shows the perspective view of the adjustable boundary lines. This figure shows the complete layout of our portable adjustable boundary lines of four flat webbing materials and sandbags that creates playing boundaries. This invention requires the use of lightweight sandbags (1) and flat webbing lines (2) in order to design the boundary lines. The webbing line has numerous Velcro strap (3), that allow adjustments (4) every five yards and when the desired size is established the Velcro strap attaches to the bottom of the sandbag (5). The attachment can be adjusted to create any desirable shape and size. These fields can be created on any ground surface such as grass, synthetic or artificial turf, indoor gymnasium, asphalt, concrete and sand.

[0013]In order for this invention to have stability and adjustment our customized lightweight sandbags are essential. Figure II shows the bottom view of the lightweight sandbag (1) and its Velcro lining (5). The sandbag is 4″×4″ and w...
