Beeping Basketball

Product Description

The gold nugget of the young ball-playing world, our blue Beeping Foam Basketball levels the playing field like nothing you've ever seen. Made of soft, synthetic foam, it's roughly the same size as a standard inflatable basketball. This ball, however, doesn't have to move to make noise. The tiny, robust beeping module, hidden deep in the center of the high-quality foam, beeps throughout the entire game.

Simply worm your finger into the center of the ball, and flick the beeper on. For the duration of your game of Kickball, Dodge Ball, Soccer or of course, basketball, you'll hear four beeps, followed by just over a second of silence, then another four quick beeps. This carefully-engineered beeping series eliminates confusing echoes and allows players to carry on their usual chit-chat and banter, while keeping all players aware of the ball's location ... at all times!

Wind resistance, sloping fields, opposing players and changing strategies are all compensated with this priceless ball. For the first time, kids with absolutely no sight can dash onto the field or court and make a meaningful contribution to their team, with minimal coaching or guidance.

All you need to unleash the full potential of blind youngsters is an ordinary ball ... with a small yet extraordinary modification. (The beeping module runs for several hours on a single AA battery, which, of course, is easily replaceable. AA battery included and freshly installed.) Basketball measures 8 inches in diameter.
