A finger flicking football game comprises a waterproof triangular-shaped football for finger flicking and a pair of transportable game boards. Each game board comprises: a planar table surface having a plurality of apertures, each aperture designed to hold a cup sized for playing beer pong, and a pair of goal posts hinged from a rear end of each planar table surface. During game play, the players take turns flicking the football towards the cups in the other player's game board. Should their flicked football land in a cup, that player has scored a six point touchdown and can proceed to finger flick the football towards the other players goal posts for scoring an extra point.

A sports ball for use in baseball-type games includes a hollow, substantially spherical plastic ball that has a plurality of substantially planar, intersecting regions covering an outer surface thereof. Preferably the ball also has a weight that is substantially less than a weight of a regulation baseball, for enhancing safety in use. The sports system further includes a bat for use with the ball, or with any similar ball, preferably a plastic ball. The bat is a hollow, elongated member that has a handle portion adjacent a bottom end and a barrel portion between the handle portion and a top end. The bat further has a sheath surrounding at least a portion of the barrel portion. The sheath has a coefficient of friction higher than a coefficient of friction of a surface of the barrel portion, for imparting “traction” to a struck ball.

A practice ball with an off-axis weight distribution allows sportspeople to practice their ball catching, passing and other skills using a ball that flies through the air with a wobbly trajectory.

A method of producing toy balls for pets, including: manufacturing distorted sphere balls with an opening in the distorted area using injection molding; sealing the opening of the distorted sphere balls to form uni-body sphere-shaped balls. The material used in the production of these toys can be rubber, thermoplastic elastomers, or thermoplastic rubber. This method allows to manufacture toy balls with no detached parts in the case of broken joints when the balls are chewed or torn apart by the pets. Thus, the ball can help to keep the pets from endangering themselves by swallowing detached parts of pet toy balls.

A reusable exercise or therapy ball cover.

Racket Golf is a golf-style game intended for leisure and friendly competitive play used in common recreational areas such as backyards, parks, beaches, paved surfaces, and within large building spaces. It consists of a Racket Golf club designed to strike a plastic projectile toward a moveable target hole. The Racket Golf club may include string webbing similar in configuration to a tennis or badminton racket. The Racket Golf projectile consists of a ball and tee which in one embodiment are separate pieces and in another embodiment are attached to one another. The tee would serve to hold the striking surface of the projectile above the playing surface, and in the attached version, would also limit the projectile's flight after it had been struck. The target hole is ring-shaped that may include a raised ramp about its circumference. The target hole can be moved about during play to change the difficulty or to adjust the playing par. Alternatively, the target hole can be left in place, but approached from various starting positions to vary the playing course.

A finger tossing toy having a hollow body comprising a pliant unitary wall and at least one square shaped aperture through the wall where the at least one aperture is sized to accept and tightly grip a human finger.

Apparatus and rules for playing a boules-style game. The apparatus includes one or more specially configured rigid gamepads having a flat upper surface on which balls can roll smoothly, each gamepad having a raised ridge around its periphery defining a base area, and shapes formed in the base area by raised ridges enclosing one or more additional distinct areas. Game balls may be configured to provide slightly unpredictable rolling characteristics, for example by providing them with grooves, ridges, lumps, dimples, or other surface anomalies. The game may be played in an open area with one or more gamepads placed on the ground spaced apart from each other. Gameplay includes players rolling the balls onto the gamepad from a distance. Each gamepad may have a post affixed thereto extending vertically from the gamepad. A bonus ball may be balanced atop the post, subject to being dislodged and awarding bonus points. Points are awarded based on a predetermined point value of the base area, and higher predetermined point values of the areas defined by the raised ridges, and the final positions of the balls and or bags.

An instep weighting training accessory to be releasably fastened around the instep of a shoe having studs or cleats on its sole is provided. The accessory includes a strip, a weight and a layer of padding material. The strip includes an inner layer intended to be in contact the shoe and a sheath to be arranged on the instep of the shoe. The weight is enclosed inside the sheath and the padding material is located between the weight and the inner layer of the strip. In an alternative, an instep weighting training set having a plurality of training accessories is provided.

The present invention relates to a hollowed ball with an erratic movement for pets formed by a single piece, preferably made from an elastic material that allows the erratic movement during a rotation or rebound displacement due to its interior design. The form and dimensions and dimensions of the ball allows the storage of food in its interior, introducing and dosing such food through openings or hollows placed in the external part of the ball. The ball is structurally formed in its interior by at least two cylindrical sections with continuing radially arched thickness with a sequential projection of horizontally cylindrical truncated steps.
