Goalball Athlete and Protective Court Padding

A goalball player stands on the court near a soft protective padding barrier and a storage bin filled with equipment. Preparing for practice involves setting up safety padding along the floor boundaries of the court.

The Auditory Sport of Goalball

Goalball is an adaptive sport designed specifically for visually impaired athletes, though all competitors wear opaque eyeshades for total fairness. The ball contains internal bells so players can locate it entirely by listening as it rolls across the gym floor. Players block incoming throws by diving sideways across cushioned floor mats to protect their team's goal.

Colors of Goalball Equipment and Safety Gear

  • Goalball sphere: bright red or dark blue rubber
  • Soft padding barrier: dark blue, black, or gray protective vinyl
  • Ball storage bin: translucent white or light blue plastic
  • Player jersey: vibrant yellow, blue, or red team athletic shirt
