ABSTRACT:
A game has as its object the throwing of a projectile, such as a ball, by one player into a target area which is defended by another player. The defender has a shield which is held in one or both hands and used to deflect the projectile in a manner such that the deflected projectile can be caught in the defender's empty hand. The target area may be laid out on the ground, in which case the defender stands within the target area and tries to deflect the projectile and catch it while still in that area. If the defender catches the projectile while still in the defended target area, the defender may throw the projectile at the opponent's target area from the point of the catch; otherwise, throws are made from behind the defended goal. The shield is provided with a concave deflecting surface and a handle which permits the shield to be held in one hand so as to direct the deflecting surface away from the defender. In the preferred embodiment, the target area is laid out on the ground in the form of isosceles trapezoids having their short sides serving as the forwardmost target area portion and the respective parallel long sides serving as a base line behind which throws are made unless the projectile is caught within the target area.
