If you could come up with a of a term which means; ball, puck, dart, frisbee or shuttlecock, what would it be?

I'm amazed to see that evidently there is not a word for this. At least not in the English language, that describes all of these 'things'. Things being obviously too broad a term. This specific 'group of things' deserves a name.

They all are used in a game involving physical activity, and are in every case, the single critical 'scoring' component of a specific sporting game, involving usually two sides, and consist of 2 or more 'players', a field, goals, etc.

What is this thing?

If your suggestion is clever enough, perhaps I'll use it:)
