I can't believe you don't play with pads.  I wear knee, elbow and hip 
pads.  Being from Australia I purchased some shorts with side pockets with 
slots for pads, that Cricket Players wear under their trousers while 
batting.  Great for my hips.  My advice would be if you are going to keep 
playing, you will get soreness in your joints from the action of defending 
and throwing, no need to make that worse by not wearing any padding.  I 
wear volleyball knee pads which i find comfotable and easy to work in and 
generic elbow pads.  Court surfaces are most unforgiving and some padding 
will keep you in the game a whole lot longer.

[Sportsandrec] Goalball and soreness  [No Protective Marking]


Hi!
Tennessee is starting to get goalball off the ground in a serious manner I 
think. We had our second night playing tonight and wo, was it fun. I have 
questions:
1. Does anyone know when the next reasonably close to Nashville  regional 
tournament might be? 
2. What is an ideal number of players for a team?
3. Are tournaments men, women, or mixed?
4. I do not wear a lot of padding as I like to bounce around and play. My 
elbow, knee, and hips feel like I have been in a car wreck. Does my body 
get used to this beating and how long does the soreness usually last?
