Cornhole is a game of tossing bean bags into holes on the board to score points. But it’s also a lesson in gravity, projection, velocity and motion. And it’s being used in a very unique way at a school in Bemidji, Minnesota.
Nathan Voyer is a sixth grade teacher and a professional competitor in the American Cornhole League. He uses the sport to teach his students about aiming high, not just in their ambitions or sports careers, but in life in general.
The hat, called the Ultra, is designed with a snug fit that covers the ears and forehead and comes in two sizes with an elastic stretch band. The brim is also curved for an athletic look. It’s the choice of players who compete at the local level and in weekend tournaments.
As a player works on his technique, the hat helps him stay focused and concentrate on his form. There are four different classifications of throws in cornhole: hard, soft, counterpuncher and block. The harder the throw, the more power it has and the more likely it is to knock other bags off the board. Soft throwers rely on angles and accuracy. Counterpunchers use both power and precision to clear other bags off the board. Block shots are the most precise.
A common misconception is that professional players use corn-filled bags. However, the bags at competitive levels have to meet stringent size and weight requirements and are filled with resin. The resin is dust-free and will not mold like corn. It’s a better choice for indoor play because of its low environmental impact.
