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!!
Firstly, a massive thank you to Sally Hurst from BBC Look North who visited our Great Britain training session a few weeks ago!
I speak from experience when I say these 2.5kg balls REALLY hurt when they hit you at full force! Goalball is an adrenaline-filled sport for athletes with visual impairments. Great fun filming with the GB men’s team - more @BBCLookNorth at 1830 @GoalballUK pic.twitter.com/ZwVGM3SE0R

It was wonderful that Croysutt Warriors were able to get back on the court before the second lockdown…
Was good playing goalball while it lasted, felt good to be back on court for a few weeks before this 2nd lockdown. pic.twitter.com/iR4a5RHruK

And up the M40 this week there were similar scenes with Birmingham Goalball Club!
I literally Can’t describe how it felt to be back on court playing goalball again with @bhamgoalball1 . It’s been seven long-awaited months, but it definitely felt good to be back 🔵💙 #CommunitiesCan #StayFitLiveWell #GoalballFamily @UBSscholarships @SportAtStaffs https://t.co/AaGL0dWkOy
