IBSA Goalball European C Mens Championships 4th – 9th September 2013

We are delighted to have been successful in our bid to host the Championships in the lovely setting of the University of Worcester,” said Mike Reilly, Chief Executive Officer of Goalball UK.

“The tournament will be held exactly a year since the fantastic memorable games in London 2012. Goalball is growing in the UK and this is another opportunity to host a world-class event and raise the profile of this great sport."

British goalball player Adam Knott is enthusiastic to compete for the opportunity to advance, as Great Britain will not be guaranteed a qualification place at the Rio 2016 Paralympic Games.

"This is fantastic news for everyone who is involved with goalball in the UK,” Knott said.

Michelle Young is helping set up the new Goalball Club in Glasgow. She recently went along to a West Midlands training session to try the sport, and this is what she thought:
