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!!
We loved these brilliant pictures of Kate Coghlan, one of our non-exec directors, giving goalball a go with Cambridge Dons!
Many thanks to the @CambridgeDons @GoalballUK for putting up with a novice today. What a fun way to start the weekend! #goalballfamily (images show a team photo, one of players in action and one of me in shades and branded kit) pic.twitter.com/shnjJDkiaC

And our CEO Mark Winder received an accolade of his own, becoming a Freeman of the City of London – great work, Mark!
Loved the positive vibes from Dan Roper about the progress of the men’s GB team – can’t wait for this team to get back to competing internationally!
Last week we had some very disappointing news! The Euros have been postponed! Devastated! But I just got back from a 3 day camp last night and it’s good news!! Our boys just keep getting better and better! Thanks for another amazing camp @GoalballUK #Goalball #LoveTheseGuys

Some fantastic news from Asda, who will be highlighting the challenges of social distancing for blind and partially sighted people across all its stores…

And finally, this time next week we are hoping to find some of these under our Christmas tree!
If you've got friends or family that play #goalball or #blind football a new sound ball or set of eyeshades could make a great Christmas present.
