About goalball

  • Participants are blindfolded during the matches, so they have to play on a 9x18 meters field by relying on their hearing only.
  • The game aims to score points while the opposing team tries to prevent this.
  • The goals are 9 meters wide, and they are located at the two ends of the field the entire length of the baseline.
  • The ball is made out of rubber, and it has holes on it so that the noise of the rattles inside can be heard when the ball is moving.

 

Sponsor opportunities

  • Thanks to the main sponsor of the event, the participation is free. However, we look for further sponsors to cover the expenses of the game (such as catering to athletes, cup, and medals)
  • For partners who support the competition with 50 000 HUF or more, we ensure the opportunity to place­ their at most 6 square meters banner, and we will mention their support in the communication in connection with the HBLF competition.

 

In case you find the aim noble, the idea intriguing, and you have at least three co-workers who would gladly try out this sport and meet other companies’ co-workers and visually impaired athletes, please send the application form to the office of HBLF (e-mail: hblf@hblf.hu; Fax: 061/330-9985)

Special thanks to the Tungsram SC for offering the venue.

Several introductions and training videos are available on youtube about goalball!
