Shamalia talks to us about goalball, a paralympic sport she began playing when starting university in Nottingham. What is goalball? Goalball is a Paralympic Sport which was designed for people with visual impairments. As everyone wears blacked out masks during the games, anyone sighted can play too. The game is played on a court the size of a volleyball court and is marked out with string, which is taped down. Two teams of three people a side try to score in the oppositions nine metre wide goal, using a ball with a bell in it. Find out more about goalball: www.nottingham.ac.uk/sport/goalball
