Badminton – Hemiplegia CP (Inclusion)

Hemiplegia - One side of the body is affected more than the other. The arm is usually more involved than the leg. People in this classification, depending on the severity, walk with a limp toward the side of the body that is affected. In this case, the student with a disability cannot open his or her palm and plays with a slight limp on the same side.

1. Play a 2 on 2 or 3 on 3 modified badminton game over the tennis net

2. The singles area of the tennis court is the boundary

3. The server must strike the birdie from behind the service line to beyond the service line to be a valid serve

Goal Ball – Visually Disabled (Inclusion)

This sport was developed for blinded World War II veterans

1. The game is played on one side of a tennis court

2. The objective is to roll the playground ball into your goal between the two cones. One team rolls the ball then it is the other team’s turn.

a. Roll the ball towards the other team’s goal at a slow or medium pace (no faster than walking speed). The moderator announces “bowling” before the ball is rolled.

3. Three players are on the court for each team. Two players are visually impaired (wear blindfolds) and the third acts as a moderator. The moderator:

a. Warns players if they are about to collide or in a dangerous position.

b. Returns ball to the players if it becomes silent.

c. Helps position players on the court

4. Visually impaired players must wear blindfolds at all times and try to prevent the ball from entering the goal. They listen for the ball or the voice of the moderator for help

5. 1 point is scored for each successful goal

Beep Baseball – Visually Impaired

▪ Can also use a ball filled with sleigh bells or another noise maker

1. 2 teams

2. Fielders and batters are blindfolded

3. Batting team

a. Bonnie bats the beep ball with a paddle (more safe) off a tee to the left side of the left (see dotted line). Bonnie has teammates on both the left and the right base. Since the ball was batted to the left, Bonnie’s teammate (not wearing a blindfold) in the right base hoop yells her name continually. Bonne runs toward the sound of her name attempting to slap 5 with her teammate before the other team collects the ball.

4. Fielding team

a. After the ball is hit off the tee, the ump yells “zone 1” because that is the direction the ball is travelling. The fielders or fielder in zone 1 attempt to gather the ball into their hands before the batter slaps 5 at a base thus causing the runner to be out.

5. After each out or run, the batter is replaced by their teammate.

6. After 3 outs or 6 runs, the teams switch sides.

Bocci Ball – Cystic Fibrosis (work on lung capacity through low/moderate activity)

Cystic fibrosis is a recessive genetic disorder characterized by the production of abnormally viscous mucus in the lungs and trachea which usually results in chronic respiratory infections and difficulty breathing. Individuals with cystic fibrosis typically have a lifespan of 30 years. Some studies have shown multiple benefits due to light/moderate physical activity in individuals with cystic fibrosis.

1. 3 teams of 2

2. Each team has one similarly colored pair of yarn balls

3. Play begins when the pallino or jack (differently shaped or colored ball) is thrown to a location nearby (10-25 yards). You may flip a coin, do rocks, paper, scissors etc to determine who rolls the pallino first.

4. Players on each team take turns attempting to roll their yarn ball nearest the pallino.

5. Players alternate, for example the order might go: team 1 player A, team 2 player A, team 3 player A, team 1 player A, team 2 player A, team 3 player

6. After all the yarn balls have been rolled, a determination is made who is the closest. That team is awarded a point and the pallino is given to the partner of the closest roller. For example, if team 2 player A was the closest, then team 2 player B rolls the pallino to a new location. Now all B players attempt to be the closest while the A players watch.

7. Players are allowed to roll their yarn ball into other players’ yarn balls or the pallino.
