Extractions: skip to main skip to sidebar -Good times in the Midwest- "If you want to be the most popular person in your class, whenever the professor pauses in his lecture, just let out a big snort and say "How do you figger that!" real loud. Then lean back and sort of smirk." -Jack Handey- We're really excited for my little brother, Herschel. He just found out he's made the Utah Men's Team for Goal Ball , a sport for the blind. We were busting up laughing when he put them on. One eye is so bad there is no help, so it's just glass, but you can see from his magnified left eye how strong the prescription is just to read. Hersch actually qualifies to have a blind-seeing eye dog, but the years without help made him adjust and create coping mechanisms where his ability to deal with being almost blind make him ineligible. He's also been in blind school after public high school and from that program he discovered Goal Ball. Goal Ball: The game of goal ball was invented in 1946 by Austrian Hanz Lorenzen. The first idea for the sport was a rehabilitation activity for blind veterans of WWII. It was first introduced to the world during the Paralympics held in Toronto in 1978. Since this time the sport of goal ball has grown throughout the world. From it's description, goal ball seems like a combination of soccer, volleyball, and bowling to me. All the players have to wear black out goggles making everyone completely blind. They tape rope to the gym floor so the players can feel on their hands and knees to have reference points of where they are. The ball looks to me like a basketball sized ball, but it is filled with bells so the players can hear where it is.

Extractions: History Goalball was established to help rehabilitate blinded war veterans by Austrian, Hanz Lorenzen and German, Sepp Reindle in 1946. It was introduced to the world at the 1976 Paralympics in Toronto, Canada, and the first World Championships were held in Austria in 1978. The rules were formalised by the International Blind Sport Association in 1981 and the first European Championships were held in1983. Since then Goalball has increased in popularity and is now played globally. Goalball is a three-a-side team game, developed for visually impaired players, however individuals with full sight can also play. It has three main features which distinguish it from games played by sighted people: 1. The ball used contains internal bells, which enables players to hear and locate it during play. 2. The game is played on an indoor court or area, with tactile markings to enable players to determine their position on court. 3. All players wear eyeshades to ensure that everyone plays on an equal basis.

Content provided in partnership with SANDY Trisha Chase wanted so badly to play the sports her brothers do that she was willing to try and throw the javelin without being able to see where the pavement stopped and the dirt began. The result was a sprained ankle. "She does the shot and discus as best she can," said her mom, Christine Chase, of her 15-year-old daughter, who was born legally blind. Trisha might be a very frustrated ninth-grader if not for a sport that most sighted people have trouble even envisioning goalball. "I tried to play Junior Jazz, but I was terrible because I couldn't see the hoop," she said after her team finished third in the ninth annual Utah Goalball Tournament at Crescent View Middle School Friday afternoon. "I was looking around for something to do, and I found goalball. I've been playing since I was 6. . . . I love it."
