Please register by Friday, February 26.

Friday, March 12th, from 11:30 a.m. � 4:00 p.m.

Goalball is a sport for athletes who have visual disabilities. It is sometimes referred to as �reverse dodge ball� because blindfolded players use their bodies to dive for the ball and defend their goal. The ball has bells inside it so players can hear it.

Both days include lunch and feature a �train the trainer� session for coaches as well as a session for athletes of all levels of proficiency in the sport. Jen Armbruster, five time goalball Paralympian and gold medalist, will lead the athlete portions. John Potts, the Sports Director for the US Association of Blind Athletes, will lead the �train the trainer� portion for coaches.
