Need a volleyball-proof infant shelter?

DW

My friends host a weekly volleyball game and would like to set their baby next to the court while they play, but they're worried about him getting hit by the ball. So they're looking for a protective shelter they can put near the court.

It has 2 requirements:
1) It must protect the baby from the ball, even if it's hit hard right at him.
2) The baby must be visible to the parents while they're on the court.

This is an indoor game, so the shelter doesn't need UV protection or sand anchors, but if you find something designed for the beach that's OK too. They can adapt or modify it if needed.

Any suggestions?
David: A hard-hit volleyball has a lot of momentum, a plastic sheet wouldn't stop it. It could topple the stroller if it hits at exactly the right/wrong angle.

Answer
Keep the baby in a nearby facility

mikah: About 5 months. He's perfectly happy in a car seat or stroller, but that doesn't protect him from the volleyball. We can put the car seat (or stroller) behind something sturdy, but then he's out of sight.

Answer
How about a small portable soccer goal? If they put it a little way in front of him, it wouldn't matter if it got knocked flying (since they are fairly lightweight). All it has to do is kill the momentum of the ball.
