A touch activated lighted sports ball is formed as a sphere having a core and an outer layer. A pair of electrodes are exposed on an exterior surface of the outer layer. An electronic circuit is disposed within the core. The electronic circuit has a battery, a lamp, an active circuit element, and an electronic switch. The electronic switch is connected to the pair of electrodes, and is responsive to current flowing through a low resistance path between the electrodes to energize the lamp.

Golf ball comprising one or more layers and/or indicia formed from a fluorescent composition comprising: a base polymer; and a colorant; wherein the colorant is a small-molecule ionic isolation lattice formed from one or more fluorescent dye and one or more cyanostar macrocycles. The one or more fluorescent dyes may include at least one dye selected from xanthenes, oxazines, styryls, cyanines, trianguleniums, or mixtures thereof. The colorant may be a dispersion of the small-molecule ionic isolation lattice in a carrier medium or a powder. In particular embodiments, at least one of the one or more layers is a cover layer and/or a coating layer.

A light charger charges a plurality of luminescent balls to emit light for use in dim lighting. The charger is a housing subdivided into a hopper section, a transport and light charging section, and a base section. The transport and light charging section includes a transport assembly integrated with a light charging assembly, with the transport assembly configured to receive and transport luminescent balls from the hopper into and through the light charging assembly, which comprises at least one light source. The light source comprises at least one LED and an illuminating light panel interposed between the LED and the luminescent ball when operating. The base section comprises an ejection exit point for the charged luminescent ball to exit the light charging assembly and a sensor for activating the system to eject at least one luminescent ball.

A golf game assembly includes a plurality of goals. The plurality of goals may be arranged on a support surface. Each of the goals is comprised of a phosphorescent material to be visible at night. A plurality of golf clubs is provided. Each of the golf clubs is comprised of a phosphorescent material to be visible at night. A selected one of the golf clubs is selected by a player. A plurality of balls is provided. A selected one of the balls may be placed on the support surface. Thus, the player may strike the selected ball with the selected golf club. Each of the balls is comprised of a phosphorescent material to be visible at night.

An apparatus for a roll battle game comprises discs; disc bases, wherein each of the discs is disposed on each of the disc bases, and wherein each of the discs is relatively rotatable axially to each of the disc bases, and wherein a hole is formed; balls; and obstacles to impede the balls into the holes of the discs, wherein the obstacles are associated with the discs or the balls or both. A method of rolling battle game comprises steps of providing a roll battle game apparatus, introducing the plurality of players, directing players to either roll the ball to the hole or strike the ball of a previous player until all players roll the ball to stay in the hole; permitting players whose ball was struck by the other players to rotate the disc; the first player rolls to the base goal in the final iteration is the winner.
