Abstract:

A throwing disc, adapted for use in a catch and throw game, comprises a disc shaped member that is aerodynamically configured for permitting the disc to be thrown over a substantial distance and received by a catcher's mitt or the like. A set of fasteners, preferably Velcro brand hook fasteners, are formed on the catcher's mitt. A set of Velcro brand loop fasteners are positioned on the disc-shaped member to project substantially above at least one of its upper and lower sides for engaging and releasably interlocking with the fasteners formed on the catcher's mitt. In a preferred embodiment of this invention, the fasteners provided on the disc are dome-shaped.
