Each Friday during the coronavirus lockdown we’ll be selecting our favourite social media activity from the Goalball Family and beyond.
We hope that this round up can help to keep you entertained and provide inspiration to help you stay active during this period when we have to remain at home.
On Monday we launched another social media challenge and we’re thrilled that so many of you are taking on the 10 photos challenge!
Let’s take a look at some more to get the round-up started this week and get underway with goalball superstar and NHS hero Sarah Leiter…
Day 10 of 10 from photos of my #goalballfamily! You might be hoping for the funniest, most artistic or dramatic moment. But no, this one is to say #thankyou to everyone who is supporting me now with calls, messages, quizzes, or jokes while I go to work during the crisis. pic.twitter.com/HtpSbXp8V4

The official Paralympics Games Twitter account has also been looking back at their favourite goalball memories. Check out this video from Rio 2016 of Turkey winning the gold medal – we’re sure this will inspire all the aspiring Paralympians playing in this country…
Turkey are the current Paralympic champions in women's goalball.

Our friends at South Wales Goalball Club made a very good point about goalballers in this current climate!
It’s advised that everyone is to avoid touching their face to help decrease the spreading of Corona.

This should be easy for you Goalballers, after all, you get penalised for doing this in a match!
