[Sportsandrec] beeping & adapting balls

[Lori M. Miller]

Mike,

I do not believe that a goalball or ball with bells would be equivalent to a 
beeping ball simply because if moving fast it is difficult to hear the bells 
and I know that from playing basketball with a basketball with bells, it 
doesn't really make it that much easier, but I suppose one could always try. 
It just may not be the thing for me, but might work just fine for others.

I think the easiest ball to put bells in might be a tennis ball. I've had to 
cut an x in tennis balls in order to stick them on the tip of a cane or 
broom handle to make a tapper for swimming. You could probably slip a bell 
or two in through an x and you would not have to reseal it if the cuts are 
not too big. A little smaller surface area to hit, but not far off from the 
size of a standard baseball.
