What is Beep Kickball?
Beep Kickball is an adapted sport for people who are visually impaired or blind. It is played on a flat grassy field with a ball that beeps and two bases that buzz. There is no second base, no throwing the ball and no running around all the bases. There are 5 players on each team and everyone wears a blindfold to equalize the differences in vision. Simply explained, the offensive player kicks the ball and runs to tag the buzzing base, either first or third. If he tags the base before a fielder picks up the ball, he is safe and scores a run. If a fielder picks up the ball first, the runner is out. Three outs, six innings, game over!
Introducing The Beep Kickball
The Beep Kickball was invented in 2011 as an adaptive kickball for individuals with visual impairments. This 10” low density foam ball has four chambers to provide a “beeping” sound to locate the ball. The ball is designed, constructed, and tested to provide a safe and fun way to play the popular game of kickball for everyone.
NEW!! The yellow sticker hole is the chamber that houses the switch button that turns the beeping sound on/off. New in 2025 is the addition of a raised circular housing to help players identify the switch easier.
NEW!! The BKB Logo Sticker covers the chamber that houses the two 10v battery pack that provides power for long hours of active play.
The two red sticker holes are chambers located on opposite sides of the ball to house the two beepers that provide the 85 dB “beeping” sound needed to play.
The low-density 10” core foam kickball, made by Champion, is made of a patented Rhino Skin coating for tear-resistance in regular use. The ball is safe, lightweight, and easy to grip for players.
