1. An indicator device for indicating a ready and/or upset condition of a ground supported goal, the ground supported goal having at least one bar that lies in contact with the ground, comprising: a base plate; a contact arm mounted to the base plate and movable relative to the base plate, the contact arm and a portion of the base plate configured for contact with the bar; an indicator arm mounted to the base plate for cooperation with the contact arm, the indicator arm movable relative to the contact arm between a ready position and an upset position, the indicator arm positioned such that a portion of the contact arm cooperates with a portion of the indicator arm to temporarily maintain the indicator arm in the ready position; and a biasing element to bias the indicator arm to the upset position, wherein the contact arm resting in the base plate cooperates with the indicator arm against the biasing element to maintain the indicator arm in the ready position when the bar overlies the contact arm and wherein when the bar is moved from the contact arm, the contact arm disengages the indicator arm allowing the biasing element to move the indicator arm from the ready position to the upset position.
