[Sportsandrec] family yard sports

[Roger Acuna]

Beeping frisbee?  Does the beeping mechanism weigh down the frisbee?  Is the 
beeping mechanism durable?  I have a sighted seven-year-old son.  I am 
always interested in looking for  toys/games that I can use with him.  The 
plastic bag around the ball is great. I most recently  began pitching a 
medium size softball to him and he must have great hand-eye coordination 
because he manages to hit most of my pitching, and I am a complete blink!  I 
am now thinking to set up a beeping target behind home plate so that I could 
start pitching more conventionally because I have been underhanding the ball 
and he has that down. Time to step it up!  So I'm thinking to set up a box 
with a beep ball set in the center to where I will aim my pitches.  We have 
also recently started playing catch. That is, I toss the ball to him, and he 
rolls the ball back and I repeat the process. Its working out just great.  I 
would welcome any ideas from folks.  I'll keep you guys abreast regarding 
are baseball  adventures. Hopefully no broken windows!
