Each Friday during the coronavirus lockdown we’ll be selecting our favourite social media activity from the Goalball Family and beyond.
We hope this round up can help to keep you entertained and provide inspiration to help you stay active during this period.
As you might have noticed, we have been busy this week getting involved with National School Sports Week. So, here are some of the moments from the last week…
National School Sport Week at Home aims to bring young people together through sport, play and physical activity.

Thank you @DrLisaCameronMP and @edwardtimpson for championing the importance of school sport and funding during #NSSWtogether. It is absolutely essential that schools are given urgent clarity on the primary PE & Sport Premium for 2020/21. pic.twitter.com/OrKmi7Yw1O

Back to the Goalball Family and we loved this inventive way Lois Turner came up with to do some goalball throwing practice! We hope there was no damage in the end…
Padded up the living room today to get some #goalball throwing practise in. Desperate to get the ball in hand but whilst renting wasn’t risking any damage to the property pic.twitter.com/9jO3zA6Eze

This article from IBSA with Canadian star goalballer Amy Burk was a fantastic read…
"I don't think anyone would have thought I would have turned into the person I am today if it wasn't for goalball."

And finally, this Wednesday Goalball UK staff were given a day off and encouraged to spend the day however they wanted to support their wellbeing. Check out pictures from Kathryn and Stephen, who visited some stunning spots in the Yorkshire countryside…
Back to work today, feeling refreshed, after a day off in the sunshine yesterday when i went for a lovely walk along the River Wharfe. 🌞 🚶♀️#WorldWellbeingWeek pic.twitter.com/ICPRndYHe1

Had a fantastic day yesterday exploring the moorlands around Langsett Reservoir. One of my favourite things about living in Sheffield is having beautiful countryside right on the doorstep! 🌞 #WorldWellbeingWeek pic.twitter.com/3GmiV4vryV
