What are the benefits of Goalball?
In the world of inclusive sports, Goalball stands out for its ability to cultivate effective communication skills. Originally created for the rehabilitation of individuals with visual impairments, Goalball is now a sport that can be played by everyone and serves as the perfect platform to build teamwork and break down communication barriers. Let’s delve into why Goalball is a great sport for promoting inclusivity and enhancing communication skills among players and why you should play this inclusive sport with us!
How does Goalball inculcate positive values?
1. Eye Masks
The wearing of eye masks in Goalball compels players to communicate clearly and effectively. With no visual information to rely on, players must utilise their communication skills and listen attentively to ensure that everyone on the team is on the same page. This feature of the game not only hones communication skills, but it also reinforces the idea that good teamwork is only possible with effective communication.
2. Goalball, the perfect inclusive sport
As an inclusive sport, Goalball brings individuals with and without visual impairments closer together through the shared playing experience, fostering diversity and breaking negative stereotypes. Goalball is also a great sport for teaching the importance of empathy by putting able-bodied participants in the shoes of the visually impaired.
