Blindfolded students from West Hall, with their partners guiding them, searched for a rolling beep ball Friday morning during Disability Resource Center’s annual Beep Ball event at Mulberry Creek Community Center. Beep Ball is traditionally a form of softball or kickball for the visually-impaired. As the name implies, a ball with a beeper inserted into it emits a loud sound which the blindfolded batter must kick when pitched.
Students use their ears to play ball
