The series includes Backyard Baseball, Backyard Basketball, Backyard Football (American football), Backyard Soccer, Backyard Hockey (Ice hockey), and Backyard Skateboarding. In the games, players form a team consisting of Backyard Kids and pro players, which they take through a 'Backyard League' season, attempting to become the champions. Players can create their own athletes, starting in Backyard Football (1999). Another aspect of the games is the use of Power-Ups, allowing players to gain 'super-abilities'. For instance, 'Super Dunk' allows a basketball player to make an incredible dunk from nearly anywhere on the court, 'Leap Frog' allows a football player to jump over the entire defensive line, and 'Ice Cream Truck' causes the other team to be completely distracted for a brief period of time.
Some of these games are playable with the ScummVM emulator.[3]

Masonry sand is the way to go as others have mentioned. But I'll add this. At least in my area NWA there's a few suppliers who'll mix an actual topdressing. I can't remember the ratios but we call it infield mix. It's basically a mix of masonry sand and screened topsoil. Spreads evenly like sand but also stays in one spot better like topsoil.

Thanks. Will call today and give an update. I called Leblanc brothers and Lafargue and they didn't sell it, nor did they know where to get it. Forgot about Schriever.

Yes I was able to call this morning. Schriever Concrete, Antique Brick, and Dufrene Building Material in Thibodaux all sell bulk masonry sand by the yard. Not sure if posting prices will ruffle any feathers on here, but:
Schriever Concrete - $25 per yard loose picked up
Dufrene Building Material - $48 per yard loose picked up, $75 per yard delivered, if delivering more than 3 yeards its $48 per yard delivered.
Antique Brick - $68 per yard in a super sack picked up.
Schriever Concrete - $25 per yard loose picked up
Dufrene Building Material - $48 per yard loose picked up, $75 per yard delivered, if delivering more than 3 yeards its $48 per yard delivered.
Antique Brick - $68 per yard in a super sack picked up.

I don’t think the super sack is quite a yard. But it’s the best sand of all options listed. Dufrene looks like they dredged that shite from grand isle.
Buy a super sack from antique and keep the sack and let Schriever fill it next time.

Only use river sand. It's full of nutrients and it's clean of weeds. River sand is the ONLY way to go. You said it's for yard fill - ONLY river sand. Other sands are for construction, patio, etc...

River sand is great if you want torpedo grass. Don’t know how you think it’s free of weeds

Just had an addition / remodel done on my house and when they were finished, they brought in a bunch of bags of sand that were either the Quickrete 'play sand' or the Quickrete masonry sand mentioned to regrade my back yard. I was told it would be river sand and was a little annoyed that it was not, but after reading this thread it sounds like I dodged a bullet.
Should I mix in some compost and or topsoil?

I need to do this as well. My backyard has a pretty decent slope, so should I wait until after the rainy season to fill?

If you read the article by Dan Gill, first page, second post, he recommends waiting until your grass is actively growing, that is to prevent smothering of dormant grass. If the grass is actively growing, and you add 2 inches or less, the grass will grow through the sand. If you need more than 2 inches to fill the area, you can fill up to 2 inches, let the grass grow through it to fill in, then come back and add additional sand, never exceeding 2 inches per application.

I was more worried about runoff from the rain. I didn't even think about smothering the dormant grass, so thanks for that.

Heavy rain can move sand on a slope until you have roots to stabilize it, so would be best to wait.

I was wondering the same, if you have a little deeper spot to level if topsoil should be mixed in at a 50/50.

Is something like this good to fill in low spots?

I'm looking for something that I'll only need a few 50-80lb bags.

Yes. When I don't need a full truckload I get 2 bags of that and 1 bag of a screened topsoil and mix together.
