Goals

One of the benefits of YB is that it allows players to add and subtract numbers which helps them to understand the concept of math through the play of the game.  In addition, there is no limit to the creativity that can be used in designing a course and engaging everyone in the process.

Another goal is the opportunity to gain an understanding of tides, the impact the Sun and Moon have on the Earth, and the beach ecosystem that tides create.  Here is a link to some information from NOAA about tides.

The goal of Yako Games is to “give back” and through proceeds of the sale of Yak-o Ball and branded merchandise to be able to make donations to the National Fragile X Foundation.  

Our hope is that these donations can make a difference in the identification of why Fragile X occurs and for treatment of those individuals that are born with Fragile X Syndrome. 

Before each course is setup, all players are asked to do their part and clean up any trash around the area where they are playing and ensure there is no trash left behind when finished playing for the day.

Every time YB is played, there is an opportunity to leave the beach, or the area where you played, a "better place".  Let's do our part to maintain the beauty and cleanliness of our surroundings.
