A game with a twist!
Beeper Baseball Tournament

Players are blindfolded and the ball beeps . . . fun to watch and play.

Here's a challenge, and something new for all you softball and baseball players to try!

Rely on your senses of sound and direction! The ball beeps. The bases buzz and the players are blindfolded. If you can actually hit the ball, you must run to buzzing bases to score points before the blindfolded outfielders can find the ball and get it to the base before you arrive.

Get together a team for our tournament and play for trophies and help us raise funds for the dRC!

For information on how you can have a team in this tournament, please contact Thomas Kahler at 865-637-3666 to register your team. Donations are $400 per team.
