Goalball is a game played by two teams of three players each. The game is played on a court measuring 18.0m x 9.0m, which is divided into two halves by a centre line. Teams remain in their own half of the court during the game. The purpose of the game is for each team to throw the ball by hand, along the floor, with the intent of getting the ball across the opponent’sgoal line while the other team attempts to prevent this from happening. The goals and nets extend right across the 9.0m width at each end of the court. The ball is made of hard rubber and has holes in it that allow bells inside the ball to be heard as the ball moves.
These rules are based on the official Rules and Regulations published by the sport’sgoverning Body, IBSA, and have been adjusted to the school sports context having in mind principles of pedagogy, simplicity and applicability.
1.1. The court will be a rectangle 18.0 m long by 9.0m wide (+/- 0.05m). Measurements are to the outside edges. Nothing except the court markings will be allowed as markings on the court. The court is divided every 3.0m along its length to give six areas.
1.2. In front of the goals at each end of the court are Team Areas, 6.0 m, (+0.05 m) long by 9.0 m (+-0.05 m) wide. The Team Areas are divided in to two equal sections (3.0 m (+-0.05 m) long and 9.0 m (+-0.05 m) wide). These sections will be called the Orientation Area and the Landing Area. The Orientation Area is closest to the goal and the Landing Area is furthest from the goal.

The string will be 0.003m (+/- 0.0005m thickness) and will be placed under the top layer of tape. A tape colour should be used that provides contrast with the floor and ball and improves the ability of referees and sighted spectators to better observe the ball and court markings.
