[Sportsandrec] Goalball and soreness [No ProtectiveMarking][SEC=UNCLASSIFIED]

Tue Apr 28 15:18:47 UTC 2009

Joe,

Looks like your questions have been answered but I'll chime in as one more 
veteran of the game who padded up. In my past we have even practiced on 
concrete floors and before hockey pants, I just used a football gurtle and 
or nothing, and the hips will never forgive. So, the hockey pants can be 
somewhat bulky, but you can remove some of the excess padding if you like. 
The Trace brand always was my  favorite for elbow pads because they are 
designed to allow the bend of your elbo to breathe. Occasionally I've seen a 
player or two with shinguards, but the main things are the knees, hips, and 
elbows.

Great to see TN coming back on the map, 10 years or so ago, they had a team. 
Keep us posted and if you're interested in listening or watching the Utah 
Goalball tournament will be broadcast at:
www.pressakey.net
The games are on Friday and Saturday.

Looks like some newer teams are going to be there.

As far as this season, after this weekend we are down to Nationals in 
Colorado in June. FL might have some options and I've heard that Carolina is 
starting up something possibly.

The more teams the better.

Lori

>> 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?
