HBLF-MagiCom Goal Ball Competition 2016

The Hungarian Business Leaders Forum will be organising its Goalball competition again with the help of Magicom Llc. HBLF Member Companies could participate free of charge thanks to the main sponsor of the event, MagiCom Llc.

This charity event is intended to promote sporting opportunities and junior goalball education for the blind and visually impaired. At the same time we would like to give opportunity for our member companies to see this very special and interesting sport played sightless.

Date: 9th April, 2016, 9:00 AM – 5:00 PM

Venue: Tungsram Sport Club, Megyeri úti Sportcsarnok

(1044 Budapest, Megyeri út 6.)

About goalball

  • Participants are blindfolded during the matches so they have to play on a 9x18 metres field by relying on their hearing only.
  • The aim of the game is to score points while the opponent team tries to prevent this.
  • The goals are 9 meter wide and they are located at the two ends of the field the entire length of the base line.
  • 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, participation is free, however we look for further sponsors to cover the expenses of the event (such as: catering of athletes, cup and medals)
  • For partners who support the competition with 50 000 HUF or more, we ensure opportunity to place­ their at most 6 square metres 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 interesting, and you have at least 3 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 introduction and training videos are available on youtube about goalball!
