Goalball
How to play
Goalball is played by two teams of three visually impaired athletes on an indoor Volleyball court without the central net, with goals (9m wide, 1.3m high) at either end. The aim is to score by rolling the ball into the opposition’s goal, while the opposing players attempt to block the ball with their bodies.
Matches last for two halves of 12 minutes each; outside of the group stages, drawn matches are resolved by overtime (two halves of three minutes, or until a goal is scored) and, if necessary, extra throws (the Goalball equivalent to a penalty shootout).
In contrast to the cheers and applause that ring out around most Paralympic Games venues, the Goalball arena is silent during play. This is to allow the players, who all have visual impairments, to hear the ball.
