What is Goalball?

Goalball is an exciting, fast-paced sport that was originally developed for athletes that are blind or have low vision, but today, people of all abilities can join in and enjoy the game. The sport is played indoors with two teams of three players each, and the objective is simple: score goals by throwing a ball into the opposing team’s net. The twist? The ball is equipped with bells, so players rely on their hearing to locate it as it rolls across the court.

Goalball is a sport that promotes teamwork, communication, and coordination. It’s accessible to everyone, regardless of their experience or physical abilities, and it’s a fantastic way to build confidence, develop new skills, and meet new people in a supportive environment.
