I've talked about this site before on different lists, but I wanted to 
point them out again.  I've found the site whatifsports.com to be quite 
accessible.  In particular, I play the Hoops Dynasty game where I coach 
a college basketball team.  I've coached the Rochester Institute of 
Technology, Le Moyne and Dartmouth, where I'm currently coaching in the 
Smith world.  I consider this virtual sports as opposed to fantasy 
sports.  Players are randomly generated, you recruit players, set 
practice plans, scout your opponents and set game plans for each game.  
It costs about $12.95 a season, which lasts about six weeks. You play 
against other coaches all over the world.

I thought to mention it again, because they just upgraded their 
interface to Hoops Dynasty (HD) 2.0.  I started playing a year and a 
half ago because I thought the site was already fairly accessible.  The 
administrators of the site were always quick to fix any issue I brought 
up.  When they upgraded to HD 2.0, again it was already pretty 
accessible, and quite a bit easier to use in several places for the 
blind and the sighted alike.  There were however a few accessibility 
issues, one significant, but the rest were fairly cosmetic.  Once again, 
they've been very quick to fix any issue I've brought up.

If you're interested in managing or coaching your own team and building 
your team into a dynasty or getting to coach your favorite college 
program, I'd strongly suggest checking out WhatifSports (WiS).  They 
also have several other sports including football, baseball, hockey and 
auto racing.  If anyone has any more questions, don't hesitate to ask!
