When I first heard we were installing a ball hoop on the beach I thought that seemed odd as you can't bounce a ball in the sand but after the last few weekends at Blackspoint Beach and my kids loving the new structure I have to say "Great idea Grindstone Cottage Committee"!  The kids can play right at the beach so you can see them and it appears there is no need to bounce a ball to play with this structure (what do I know!).
