You also have a microphone to pronounce your calls and they resonate over a speaker system. That way, everyone - players, coaches and spectators - can hear you. The average age of the players, coaches and spectators is 84. We have a point guard who is 102! She throws a mean elbow.
If you're interested, please note that game payments are automatically added to your Social Security account. You can contact AARP for more details.

Sign me up. But I expect round trip airfare, rental car, hotel room, and a daily meal allowance.
