[Sportsandrec] family yard sports

[Lori]

Hi,

I've found what Justin mentioned to be very helpful over the years. 
Sometimes playing on concrete with the frisby creates a little more noise 
when it lands if you don't have the beeping one so you can find it. With the 
bag on the ball it is possible to play goalie as well, just be warned 
playing with teens on this one as they kick a lot harder than the lil' ones.
