Abstract
A paddleball game apparatus that includes a paddle member having a face portion. A first piece of fabric of either small hooks or small loops is disposed on the face portion. There is a plurality of targets having indicia therein disposed on the first piece of fabric in a predetermined configuration. A first end of a cord member is attached to a first portion of the paddle member. Then a spherical member is attached to a second end of the cord member. A second piece of fabric of a mating one of small hooks and small loops is disposed on the spherical member. A handle member is attached to a second portion of the paddle member for grasping and manipulating the spherical member to stick on one of the plurality of targets.
