Blind sports activity kit

This kit contains all the essential items to get active and try out a new sport. It includes eight good quality audible balls of varying size, eight polyester masks, five running tethers, six sport glasses, an inspiration folder, ball pump and a handy container.

This activity set contains a fine selection of products that ensure you're well equipped for various sports, training and fun activities for people with sight loss.
