[Sportsandrec] opinions and advice needed

[Ashley Bramlett]

Ricky,
are you the president of
TNAB? I see your phone number and email are listed. Do you mind if I contact 
you off list to discuss sports adaptations? I might also ask the nfb 
chapters around here and if there is enough interest we could start a 
chapter of usaba. As the NFB members do not strike me as athletes and do not 
have an interest there, I suspect it will not go anywhere, but worth asking.
I'm curious to know how you all stay active. With getting blind people 
together you deal with logistics like transportation, finding facilities to 
host the events, etc. So how do members get to your events and how do you 
all fund such activities? I mean all these wonderful activities cost money. 
Also I love your idea of reaching out to PE  teachers because too many of 
them have no clue how
to assist a blind student in their class!
Many of them probably do not mean to be non inclusive but have no clue what 
to do.

Ashley

For all of the equipment questions I would check with the USABA and see if
they have information they might give you.
