JESSICA GOING TO 2016 PARALYMPICS
Jessica Lovett Y11 has been chosen to travel to Canberra to attend the AIS (Australian Institute of Sport) in August to commence the first stage of training for the next Paralympics. She will compete in Rio in her chosen sport of Goalball which she has been playing for 4 years now. Jessica is one of three chosen from Western Australia, and only ten nationwide to attend this training. Jessica will also travel to Melbourne in October for the National Goalball competition; this same competition is scheduled to be held in Perth in 2013.
Goalball is a sport designed for and played by blind and vision impaired people. It is a fast paced sport that relies on hearing. Goalball is a team game but it has three characteristics that distinguish it from all other team ball games played by sighted people.
-
It is played with a ball containing bells so when it is in motion its position can be determined by listening.
-
It is played on a court with tactile marking that enable the players to determine their position by touch.
-
All the players wear eyeshades which completely block out any residual vision that they may have so all have equal sight advantage – NONE!!!
There are three players on a court for each of the two teams. Each team occupies one end of the court defending their goal. The object of the game is to throw, or rather bowl, the ball into the opponent’s goal – REMEMBER – THERE IS NO SIGHT – and score goals against the other team while defending their own goal area. This is achieved by throwing the ball (typically a blue, heavy, slightly larger than a basketball, hard ball) into the other teams half of the court where they will then attempt to block the ball with their body and then throw the ball at the other team. REMEMBER – THERE IS NO SIGHT!!!
