Beep Kickball is an adaptation of Kickball for those who are visually impaired, using a ball that beeps and two bases that buzz.

There are six players on each team. On defense, five players wear a blindfold in the field, and one is a sighted spotter. One blindfolded offensive player places and kicks the beeping ball from home plate, then runs to a buzzing base, either first or third. If the runner reaches the base before a fielder picks up the ball, they are safe and score a run. If a fielder picks up the ball first, the runner is out.
