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.
