English term or phrase: scoop/aero
I am having a hard time translating a part of an sport equipment description. Would you please help me with this description.

Flip Toss Set, 2 molded catch and toss scoops, 1 aero toss ball.

I cant find the right translation in particuliar for "flip toss", "scoops" and "aero toss". Should I leave Flip toss as it is, should I use "panier" for scoop...???

Thank you so much for your help

The scoops are seen in blue plastic. Maybe I would say "corbeilles". It makes me think of the Basque game "pelote basque"

I think aero ball = foam ball = balle en mousse

Explanation:
Maybe you shouldn't look for "aero toss", but "aero ball". Meaning the ball is filled with air instead of rubber or anything else. Then you have something like "balle à air rebondissante/balle creuse rebondissante".
As I understand it, this set is made of 2 molded scoops (probably in plastic) to catch and toss 1 ball.
These scoops make me think of "chisteras" in "pelote basque".
I would translate "flip toss", or try (or create a new French name), since as it isn't clear for you, it will mean nothing to a French. Could "flip toss" have the meaning of "renvoi" or something like that ?
Sorry not to answer directly to your question, but I hope this helps.
