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

 

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.

In order to compete in the state tournament players should attend at least five practices. They also need to pass off some basic skills such as being able to throw hard enough for the ball to reach the other end of the court. Younger players who do not qualify to compete can still attend the tournament to watch and receive a t-shirt.
