What Is Beep Kickball?

Beep Kickball is an adaptation of kickball for those who are visually impaired. It’s similar to standard kickball, but instead uses a ball and bases that both emit sound so that people know where to kick and where to run.

On defense, five players wear a blindfold in the field and two are sighted spotters. One blindfolded offensive player place and kicks the beeping ball from home plate then runs to a buzzing base (two bases are used in the field – the equivalent of first base and third base in standard kickball).

If the runner reaches the base before a fielder picks up the ball, they are safe and score a run. If a fielder picks up the ball first, the runner is out. The game is over after six innings or after time expires.
