What is Goalball?
The sport of Goalball was started after World War II as a rehabilitation activity for wounded veterans. It is now a Paralympic sport played around the world by both visually impaired athletes and their sighted peers. Goalball is a team sport designed specifically for athletes with a vision impairment. Participants compete in teams of three and try to roll a ball with bells embedded inside of it into their opponents’ goal, using ear-hand coordination, as all participants are blindfolded to allow for a level playing field.
