ABSTRACT:
Game apparatus for tossing and catching a ball includes a sling having a generally rectangular web suspended between a pair of rigid handles. A cord loop runs slidingly through each tubular handle such that when the handles are parallel and drawn apart from one another to the maximum distance the cord loop's length will allow, parallel, first and second taut cord portions run between the first ends of the handles and between the second ends of the handles, respectively. The web is constructed of either foraminous or nonforaminous fabric, and includes hemmed, parallel side edges constructed as tubes through which the parallel cord portions easily slide. A ball approximately the same size and weight as a regulation baseball is used with the embodiment having the nonforaminous web, and a lower-density, sponge rubber ball is used with the foraminous web. The elements described are also presented as a kit for selective use of either web with its respective preferred ball.
