We will need volunteers for Friday afternoon to help set up the courts, goals, sidelines, and other areas.
The Star-Spangled Goalball Tournament has become a premier tournament now in its 8th year. On June 24 – 26th teams from around the country will come to Nashville TN to compete for the gold! This year we will feature the best of the best as Team USA athletes will be attending the tournament along with disabled veterans and other visually impaired athletes. You have a chance to volunteer while at the same time learning about the COOLEST sport ever!
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.
