[Sportsandrec] Sixth Grade Field Hockey Suggestions

[Cervenka, Stacy (Brownback)]

I've played ice hockey using a brightly colored frisbee before. Not only
was it huge and therefore easier to hit, but I could hear it coming on
the ice. You could definitely at least try this with field hockey. It
seems like you might be able to hear a frisbee flying across a cement
field.

Hi,

I'm wondering if it might be easier to track the sound of the plain
puck--a tennis ball might move faster and if hit super hard the bells
may not have time to jingle. Maybe a small buzzer or beeper could be
afixed to the top, but it might be troublesome if the puck flips. It
would probably require a modified puck that has a noise inside with
holes on both sides and around the edges. We need a design engineer--I
missed my calling *smile*.
