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 rolled down the court. 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!

Hi everyone, and Happy New Year. 2026 will be exciting as we have expanded our practices to include the Mission Valley YMCA in San Diego. We will now have two practices per month, once at Stagecoach Park in Carlsbad, still on Sundays, and once at the Mission Valley YMCA on FRIDAYS from 5:30 to 7:30, then staying for some social time afterwards. Generally, the practices are scheduled 2 weeks apart, with a few exceptions. We also have our first 2026 tournament outside of Portland, Oregon, on February 20-22. We have updated the Playerlineup schedule to include the details of all events.
Tomorrow, we will be demonstrating Goalball at the Elite Training Center in Chula Vista as part of the Foundation for Fighting Blindness Vision Walk. We will also have a booth and hope to inspire new players to join our wonderful Goalball experience.
