Adaptive Sports New England’s new beep baseball program, the Boston Strong, is an amazing opportunity for individuals with a visual impairment to learn and play the incredible sport of beep baseball. This program is available for both youth and adults, and is certainly fun for everyone. The sport is an adaptive form of baseball. The balls and bases emit beeping and buzzing sounds respectively so that players can locate them. Our team is a part of the National Beep Baseball Association, and will travel and play in tournaments- but our weekly practices are welcome for anyone to attend who want to get exercise, learn a new skill, build confidence and inner strength. No previous experience is needed, just a desire to learn and have fun while being active. This program is located at Tufts University on Sunday mornings with the practices and team being ran by Head Coach Joe Quintanilla. More information on getting involved with the Boston Strong can be found below.
Weekly Program: all ages Team: 12+
