Abstract: A ball practice apparatus for use with a solid core ball is provided having an elastic adapted to be secured about a user's body part where an elastic cord attached to the elastic band and a plug is attached to the other end of the elastic cord. The plug is formed with an elongated body portion and a bore formed coaxially therethrough. The plug is also formed with a continuous circular anchor portion at one end. The solid core ball is connected to the elastic cord by imbedding the plug in the solid core ball so that the plug extends less than the full diameter of the ball. A ball practice apparatus for use with a two part ball inflatable ball is also provided having a two part inflatable ball formed of an outer resilient layer and an inner malleable airtight layer with a plurality of thread holes formed in the outer layer. One or more stitching members extend between each pair of the plurality of holes.
