Abstract
A support device (10) for a football, particularly a rugby football (B), comprises a flexible bag (12) having a flat base (18) with sides (12a) formed from tapered sections of a woven nylon material (for example) defining a generally ogival shape. The bag (12) is filled with a malleable material, such as loose granular material, which does not occupy the whole of the maximum volume of the bag, such that a ball (B) may be placed on the bag which can be deformed and shaped to form a pocket (16) which serves to hold the ball in a chosen attitude for place kicking.
