The sport of Goalball features many of the elements necessary for today's organisations to compete successfully in the national or global business arena:

The lessons learned in Goalball are taken back to the workplace and put into action not just for a week or two, but as a key factor in ongoing improvement for teams, individuals and managers.

This will also be achieved by your employees working with GB Paralympic squad members and gaining inspiration from their individual stories, personal sacrifices, and physical skills.

And Goalball is a fantastic activity if your organisation has a CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) programme or seeks involvement with the wider community.

Goalball is a team sport open to both male and female players. It was originally developed in 1946 to help to rehabilitate servicemen and women who had become visually impaired in the Second World War. More recently, it has developed into a highly popular sport played in many countries and in international competitions including the Paralympic Games.

Because people without visual impairment also play Goalball, all participants wear eyeshades so that all compete on an equal footing.

Players are guided by physical markers on the court and bells in the ball … making effective communication a very important element of the game, as it is in the business environment.

Goalball is very safe and great fun, and always gets highly competitive!
