Name a sport that involves catching a ball

What we would type in 25 seconds — rarity × spelling speed, not a dump of the public list.

25-second pick · +85

Angleball Deep Cut

9 letters · 1 word · ~2s to type · 179 accepted answers on the sheet

Don't name the zoo animal a six-year-old would shout first. We would type Angleball: Deep Cut, +85, 9 letters, about 2 seconds on a keyboard. Do not burn the 25 seconds on American football, Baseball, Basketball, or Dodgeball — those are Plankton. The trench answer is Newcomb ball (+100), but only take it if you can spell it cold.

Trench spelling, only if you already know it: Newcomb ball +100
