               a third coupler retaining said second vertical strut                   
          to a first end of said second horizontal rung;                              
               a fourth coupler retaining said fourth vertical strut                  
          to a second end of said second horizontal rung distal to                    
          said first end of said second horizontal rung;                              
               said first, second, third and fourth couplers coupling                 
          either permanently or removably; and                                        
               a projectile having a flaccid spacer and massive                       
          terminators at either end of said flaccid spacer,                           
               whereby said projectile may be tossed to said ladder                   
          and subsequently wrapped thereabout.                                        
          15.  A recreational apparatus which enables                                 
          participation by  diverse persons of all skill levels and                   
          which encourages interpersonal communications and personal                  
          development, and which further may be disassembled to be                    
          stored compactly and re-assembled quickly, and which is                     
          resistant to the exterior environment, comprising:                          
               a base comprising first and second horizontally                        
          extending legs, said first and second legs extending                        
          parallel in an operative position for providing structural                  
          support upon a surface;                                                     
               a ladder extending vertically therefrom fabricated                     
          from a lightweight, rigid, resilient tubular material,                      
          having first and second horizontal rungs and first, second,                 
          third and fourth vertical struts;                                           
               a first coupler retaining said first and second                        
          vertical struts to a first end of said first horizontal                     
          rung;                                                                       
               a second coupler retaining said third and fourth                       
          vertical struts to a second end of said first horizontal                    
          rung distal to said first end of said first horizontal                      
          rung;                                                                       
               a third coupler retaining said second vertical strut                   
          to a first end of said second horizontal rung;                              


                                       13
