Abstract
The present invention is related to a tethered LED illuminated ball comprising a tether assembly and a soft compressible ball coupled therewith. A retention member having one or more loops is coupled to one end of the tether assembly. A swivel is coupled to the second end of the tether assembly and operatively coupled to the ball by a ball retention cord. An illumination assembly is coupled to the ball and provides various light emitting patterns. The illumination assembly is coupled adjacent to the ball retention cord. The illumination assembly includes at least one LED and a battery operatively coupled therewith.
