Abstract
Abstract A target game is provided which can be played by two or more players. Each player is provided with a dish-shaped mitt or glove, and each glove has a fabric target extending across its front face. A plastic ball, partially covered with strips of Velcro material, is tossed from one player to another, and the ball is "caught" by the fabric target of the glove of the player receiving the ball, and is retained on the fabric target.
