Goalball is a paralympic sport. Imagine a silent arena; the only sounds are the soft shuffle of feet and the faint jingling of bells. The tension is palpable as two teams of visually impaired athletes prepare for the next play in the thrilling sport of goalball. The referee blows the whistle, and the game is on! The ball, embedded with bells, is hurled down the court with incredible speed. The defending team listens intently, their senses heightened, as they track the ball's movement purely by sound. In a synchronized dive, they stretch their bodies across the floor, blocking the ball with a thud. The ball is quickly retrieved, and now it's the defenders' turn to attack. We are starting goalball in San Diego. Come and learn and play. Maybe a gold medal at the 2028 L.A. Paralympic games!
