Sports for the blind

That sounds awesome. Always open to exchange about the sport and always great to hear people are doing it!

I adore goalbal, because love is just not enough of a word to describe my affinity for the sport :D
Have been to a couple tournaments, once got a bronze medal, once a gold medal, but honestly it's mostly because of the incredible team I was with.
I played a little as a kid in Poland, but only in England my goalball adventure has really started. At RNC in Hereford I even had a dedicated sports academy lesson once per week and would attend goalball practice for 1 or 2 hours on Wednesdays, so 3 hours per week usually, but even that was not enough.
The sport gives me such a dopamine rush, no matter what the outcome is, it really gets me going and I love learning new techniques, generally better at defending than scoring, because my accuracy needs working on lol.
Trying to get back into it, since after graduating from college going to Birmingham to practice on Saturday morning was just not worth it for me financially and time-wise, or at least that's what I thought before.

I am a part of a team, was going to have practes for it tomorrow actualy but cansled

I personally like swimming, playing judo, and playing Goal Ball.

Goll Ball? Really? I mean I try not to be a spelling ass, mine is not great either, but take it as friendly tipp: G o a l B a l l.
Anyway back to topic. Did swimming when I was younger and eventually got bored of it, kinda same for Judo. The sport is all right but the training/trainers/other people where really meh and idk, doesn't seem so fun to me these days tbh.

Fixed, thanks.

The thing with Goalball is, if your team sucks you have to defend the intire 9 meters by your self, but for me that mostly only happens if I play with yung or starting players. I apsolutely love Goalball.

I'm probably going to be getting into goalball in the forseeable future. I've enjoyed it recently actually.

@Lingevap, defending 9-metre wide alone on a higher level doesn't make sense, you haven't enough time to defend 3 metres :D

i got to try gol boll a few times, it's interesting, but i liek skiing a lot better

So what positions do you play on Goalball people?
I'm usually to the right, but recently got to try out some more stuff like center and left. And ngl I think I'd do a quite all right center with a bit of training.

I mainly play on the left wing, though playing in the centre is possible and fun. On the right I'm not used to and I also hear better on my right side, so it's kind of not a good idea.

Playing for a year now, Recently I started to play on the midle since I entered the competition with a new team.
I had satherday the first compitition day and was playing in the midle the whole time. I think I did a well job, since it was the tirth time I actually played in the midle.
I'm going to focus to play on the midle and on the left, since I'm left handed.

my team has me as someone that they can put anyware if we are in a tite spot because nothing gets through me speshaly compared to the rest of the team, we don't get much time to play so only half the team is good.

I like to play on the left when ever I can. better blocking for me

I tried goalball a few times, but I never really got into it. It might be because I never played with a good team though. Showdown is very fun, I played it for about 2 years. However, my team doesn't exist anymore because of financial problems. I go skiing once a year and it is great. Your guide has to be good though

Well yeah, you need a good trainer and nice team for sure. Skiing is nice yup. Though yeah rather an once a year thing, if even.

When you want to play showdown, you need only 2 people, but in goalball you ahve to have good 6 players, and in my opinion it's easier to train showdown by your self, when you can't have your coach on all trainings, showdown is really better option, but of course, the most important is how muchyou like any discipline.

I agree. Showdown is more fun with a bigger team though because you can play against different people. Everyone uses a different strategy

I play on the right. Its easier for me to dive to the left and I'm right handed, so its easier to throw at an angle from the right as opposed to the left

I played goalball like 3 or so years ago. was in the center and I really sucked lol. but I agree with everyone who says showdown is awsome.
