GOAL BALL
Goal Ball is a game which was developed for visually impaired people, where the bell ball is rolled from one end of the court to the other. The aim of the game is for the opposing team to listen to the bell ringing when to ball is rolled in order to block it and stop a goal from being scored. Although developed for visually impaired people, Goal Ball can be played by a variety of people, regardless of their ability as every player is blindfolded and this places every team member and opponent on a level playing field. Goal Ball would be appropriate for children of all ages but would be more effective in a secondary school setting. The game, Goal Ball could be easily implemented in to the practical component of a Health and Physical Education unit, especially when looking at sports or modified sports for people who have a disability. The following YouTube clip shows a demonstration of Goal Ball and summarises the rules and concept of the game.
