GoalBall

Goalball is a team sport speciﬁcally designed for athletes with visual impairments, but it is open to players with various disabilities. In this game, two teams of three players each compete to score by getting the ball into the opposing team's net. The ball used in goalball contains bells, which make a sound when the ball moves across the court.

Players wear blindfolds to ensure a level playing ﬁeld for all participants. They need to rely on their other senses, especially hearing, to track the movement of the ball.
