What is Goalball?

Goalball is a Paralympic sport designed for athletes who are blind or vision impaired. It is played on an indoor volleyball court, lined with tactile marking and the ball has a bell inside of it. The goals are 9 metres wide and 1.5 metres high which stand across the entire back of the playing court. Games are played over 2 x 12 minute halves with each team having 3 players on court. All players wear blacked out goggles or blind folds enabling sighted and vision impaired players to compete on an even playing field. Goalball is a fast paced and skilful game where the objective is to score goals by rolling the ball past the opposing team of defenders and into the goal. The team with the most goals at the end of the game wins!
