Overview
We are a goalball team that provides people with the opportunity to play the paralympic team sport of goalball. We aim to give people the opportunity to play at the level they want whether its the chance to play a grassroots sport or the chance to play at the top of the sport.
Our club is open to people aged 8 to 50+.
Goalball is a team sport played by visually impaired people, though fully sighted people can and do play it domestically in the UK. Two teams of three play on an indoor court 18m x 9m, the same size as a volleyball court. All players wear shades so players can’t see anything and the ball has bells in it. Each team takes it in turns to throw the ball along the floor to score in the oppositions goal, the goals stretch the full 9m of the court. The sport is fun, fast and tactical. We look forward to you joining us.
