[Mdpobc] new youth sport opportunity

[Sandy White]

There used to be a community Goalball team that practiced at MSB but it disbanded quite a while ago. If there is on at NFB we would like to know about it.


Thank you,

Is there still a team which plays periodically at the NFB Jernigan Institute? I know there used to be, but I’m not sure whether one still exists.

A new coed Youth Goalball Team is developing in Northern DE, and MD youth, ages 10 - 14, are invited to participate. Goalball (see YouTube) is a very popular and easy to learn team sport for blind and visually impaired youth and adults. A new Mid-Atlantic Youth Goalball League is developing to include NJ, PA, DE, and hopefully MD & NY City in the future. A new Philadelphia area team started twice a month practices in Dec., and they have offered to host some fun games.  

 

For more info or to sign up for this low cost program ($5 dues + $25 for insurance) please e-mail info at blindsports.org or call 302-836-5784.
