Participating in goalball is a great activity. It helps develop motor skills, coordination, strength and orientation skills along with sportsmanship, teamwork and leadership.

 

Some visually impaired children are afraid to try goalball and other sports because they have had bad experiences with sports in the past or they don't feel they have the skills to play. Almost without exception, every child who comes to several practices and then plays on a team at the state tournament develops confidence in their ability to play along with a love for goalball.
