How goalball is played
The aim of the game is for a team to throw the ball from one end of the court to the other and across the goal line to score a goal without the opposing team intercepting. There are two teams of three players, with a maximum of three substitutes on each team. The game is conducted in an indoor court measuring 18 metres by 9 metres. Tactile markings on the floor enable players to determine their position and direction by feeling for the markings with their hands or feet. The rectangular court is divided by a centre line with goals erected at either end of the court. All players must wear eyeshades, so the disadvantages of poor sight and no sight are equalised during play.
