[Sportsandrec] accessibility of sports

[Shawn Abraham]

Hello all,
I've been considering some different sports that I wanted to do, 
but before that I wanted to find out about the accessibility or 
adaptability of different sports.  Meaning that I'm interested in 
finding out how most blind people do certain sports.  What are 
the adaptations you use for the following sports?
How do blind people usually run track? Is it always with the use 
of a guide? Trail? What about field events: Javelin throwing, 
shot put, discus throwing, high jumps, etc? How would 
crosscountry work?
Are there any adaptations at all needed in official swimming?
What about tennis or lacrosse?
What about team soccer, basketball, or football? I heard that 
there was recently a movie about a blind football player.
Baseball? Gymnastics? Skiing? Judo?
Tell me about your sport! I'm interested in knowing any 
adaptations, modifications, or special techniques you use.
Thanks!
