What you need to set up a club:
A quiet sports hall, and, if it has a volleyball court marked in it it’s a bonus as this is the same size as a Goalball court and you can use these lines for guidance
- Tape and string to mark out the court
- A ball that makes a noise, preferably a goalball but if you have youngsters playing it may be advisable to start with a Jingle Ball which is larger and softer than a Goalball, or a Kixz football
Padding, to cover elbows, knees, hips, chest (for girls) and groins (for boys)
Eyeshades, sleepshades can be used to start with, these are less expensive
Goals can be formed from gym benches initially while you get up and running
Some willing players!
