Extractions: The Power of Goalball By Sue Wiygul Martin The onset of a disability in adulthood often brings with it the loss of more than just the affected ability. With the onset of my blindness in 1982, I immediately put several activities on my list of activities in which I could no longer participate. One such group of activities were those related to recreation, and especially competitive sports. Before the onset of my blindness I enjoyed riding, canoeing, and swimming, both competitively and recreationally. But how could I do these sports now? I dismissed them from my mind. I felt the void though. Not only was I not getting the exercise to which I was accustomed, but also I was missing the socialization that accompanied participation in these various recreational activities. I sorely missed the camaraderie at the stable and the horseplay at the takeout at the end of a canoeing trip. "Well, it's just too bad," I thought. "I can't do that anymore." At the insistence of friends, family, and my own inner prompting, I tried swimming again. I learned that once I got in the pool, I was fine. I could swim to my heart's content, contacting the lane rope every few strokes to make sure I kept straight. This restored a much-needed physical activity. I felt my body begin to shape up as I swam regularly.

Introduction To Goalball Introduction to goalball. This 536142). Characteristics of goalball. Asits name suggests goalball is a ball game; it is also a team game. http://www.paralympic.org/sports/sections/gb/introduction.htm
Extractions: Introduction to Goalball This introduction was supplied by David Lee of British Blind Sport whose Head Office is at 67 Albert Street, Rugby CV21 2SN, United Kingdom (telephone +44 1788 536142) As its name suggests Goalball is a ball game; it is also a team game. It has three characteristics which distinguish it from all team ball games played by sighted people. Firstly it is played with a ball which behaves like a rattle when in motion, so that its position can be located by listening. Secondly it is played on a court with tactile markings. This enables a player to determine his position on court and the direction in which he is facing, by feeling for the markings with his feet or his hands. Thirdly all players wear eyeshades to block out any residual sight so that the disadvantages of poor sight and no sight are equalised during play. The amount of time necessary to prepare to play goalball should not be underestimated. An 18m x 9m court has to be set in accordance with the pattern shown below. In tournament play all the lines are tactile, but for informal play only the orientation lines and the lines defining the team areas need be tactile, the other lines being just visibly marked. The teams areas are those parts of the court which are within three metres of the goal lines. The tactile markings are effected for tournament play by covering builder's line or cord with 'Sportsline' or similar high quality tape. For less formal situations, and for the benefit of beginners, much thicker clothes line is often used, and is taped down with 5cm wide decorator's masking tape. The twelve orientation marks within the playing areas are of lengths 150cm (4), 50cm (4) and 15cm (4). In marking court it is advisable to look first for permanent 18m x 9m markings for volleyball on the sportshall floor. If they exist, marking out is much easier than starting with no reference marks.
