Notes For Supporters, Administrators And Officials

Being part of a sport or club of any kind is healthy and sociable. Some people prefer not to participate within the sport itself, but as a valuable and essential support person. There are roles within the Goalball world for those who are looking to participate in this way. Whether to be part of a child’s sport for a parent, a friend who plays or just because being part of a sporting club is fun, there is room for all sorts of volunteers at local, national and even international level. One can choose to become a referee or tournament official, with training and progression available.Once certain levels of IPSA (International Paralympic Sports Association) gradings are reached, one can be invited to tournaments all around the world.

Local clubs always need volunteers to help out in setup of courts, coaching, game refereeing and acting as a sighted guide. Participation is fun and whether you choose a small or large role, your help and support would always be appreciated.
