| Beep Baseball World Series |
| BEEP BASEBALL COMES HOME TO COLORADO Beep baseballs were created by TelecomPioneers. A regulation size softball is cored out and a beeper is installed inside. The first game was played in Colorado Springs. We’re excited it is back in Colorado this year for the World Series. It is a modified game of baseball that uses a ball that beeps and bases that buzz. The National Beep Baseball Association is a non-profit charitable organization that was created to organize teams, leagues, tournaments, and standardizes the rules and provides officials. Beep Baseball is played by athletes from the age of 18 to however long you want to play. Spectators who have witnessed a beep baseball game are amazed at the speed and agility of the players. To see a blind athletes dive into the ground to stop a beeping ball or run full speed toward the sound of a buzzing base to score a run is truly exciting and amazing. To put on a tournament of this size will take many volunteers. If you would like to experience the fun and excitement of Beep Baseball and be a part of this exciting tournament please complete the attached volunteer registration form and be a part of a great event. Not only will the players appreciate it; you will have a lot of fun and will experience an event you’ll want to see over and over. There are many volunteer opportunities and we’re sure one that fits you. SIGN UP TODAY!! Adopt a Beep Ball |
