Personally, I think the vast majority of Villagers wouldn't mind in the least spotting the ball for you. As blue said, s/he has played with visually challenged and "it worked out OK" and no one behind them wanted to shoot them. So, whether you find a group or not, you can still play with some advantages:

1. People like helping others. It makes them feel good, especially if it is little inconvenience to them. Spotting a ball is not a lot of hard work.

2. You have an opportunity to meet new people, not just play with the same group every time.

3. You get to do something you love and are not limited in when you can play.

As Nike says, "Just do it!"
