ABSTRACT:
The invention provides a novel handball type game and apparatus for singles and doubles play on permanent or temporary type court layout utilizing a pair of special tethered balls of convenient hand size and with high rebound characteristics. Balls are connected by cord with small swivel therein, with spacing between balls roughly approximating shoulder width of wide range of users. Simple measuring and marking means facilitates court layout. Also, existing regular handball, racquetball, and squash courts can be used for game play, however, only one vertical wall is used in novel game. Basic game rules require tethered balls to be thrown one-handedly, that is, both balls released from one hand, and caught on rebound from wall two-handedly, that is, one ball each caught separately and simultaneously. Fault assessments and scoring awards are somewhat similar to regular handball. The paired tethered balls also have many other exercise, recreational, and entertainment uses for a wide range of participants.
