Each Friday we are 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 stay active during this period before we can get back on the court and play goalball.
If you have some spare time on your hands this weekend, we highly recommend listening to this IBSA podcast with Australian goalballer Meica Horsburgh…
