• Meet with the student prior to discuss current
abilities and skills, as well as, modifications they
already use as well as what they are comfortable
with having.
• Be sure to determine whether there are any health
concerns (some eye conditions may carry a higher
risk for retinal detachments). With permission from
the eye doctor, sometimes sports goggles can be Figure 1 A

safe participation.
Equipment Modifications
Sounds sources and textures/ varied materials can help with
identification of various areas.
• Use high contrast colors for court lines, a bright back board and/ or
for ball (e.g. court that is bright blue with bright yellow court lines;
yellow/ light border painted around edges of court)
• White backboards can "disappear into the background"; consider
adding a dark border.
• A beeper box can be mounted at both baskets to allow for
orientation (each basket should have a different beep to make it
easier to hear each one).
• Use a stick (or the student’s cane) to tap continuously on the inside
back edge of the basket to orient to location.
• Attach bells to the basket net, so it makes a sound when the ball
goes through net. You can also consider using a metal net
2018 Texas Focus Preconference – Ready, Set, Go! – Gronquist, M. & Seljenes, K. Page 2
• The court boundary lines can have a different texture (f.e. carpet)
(http://icevi.org/publications/ICEVI-WC2002/papers/01-topic/01-
bahram-jadidi.htm). Use caution to ensure these modifications do
not create slip and/or trip hazards!
• The backboard could have a piece of metal mounted on the square
behind the basket, so they hear when it bounces off of it.
• Basketball can have bells inside it to allow for audible clue.
Figure 2 Basketball net with metal chains
Potential Rules Modifications:
• Allow the player(s) to dribble with two hands, or travel with the ball
for longer periods.
• Have the player move to a specific area and then have the ball
passed/ handed to them for shooting during the game (if running
between other players is a safety issue).
• Require all players to walk instead of run while travelling around
the court.
• Use verbal name cue and bounce pass so they will be alerted and
hear it bounce.
• Spend adequate time on individual skills and highlight their
strengths.
• Allow visually impaired student to shoot free throws for both
teams.
2018 Texas Focus Preconference – Ready, Set, Go! – Gronquist, M. & Seljenes, K. Page 3
Teaching strategies
• Make tactual "maps" of playing area.
• Allow student to tactually explore equipment.
• Use larger balls that move more slowly to learn/ practice dribbling
(consider punching balloons)

Beep Kickball Game Rules Figure 4 Banner with images of a player running towards a beeping goal and another one of someone preparing to kick a beep kickball. A team has 5 players on the field. Only first and third bases are set up, using the specially designed buzzing bases. A game lasts 6 innings unless tied or unless time runs out, 3 outs per inning. Only one sighted player (a field spotter) is needed on the defensive team. Only one sighted player (a coach) is needed on the offensive team. All visually impaired players wear blindfolds to make it fair. FIELD SETUP – ELEMENTARY KIDS First and third bases are 60-feet from home plate. A 25-foot arc from home plate is drawn for the foul line. A 80-foot arc is drawn from home plate for the home run line. FIELD SETUP – MIDDLE SCHOOL First and third bases are 70-feet from home plate. A 25-foot arc from home plate is drawn for the foul line. A 90-foot arc is drawn from home plate for the home run line. 2018 Texas Focus Preconference – Ready, Set, Go! – Gronquist, M. & Seljenes, K. Page 9
FIELD SETUP – HIGH SCHOOLERS AND ADULTS
First and third bases are 80-feet from home plate.
A 30-foot arc from home plate is drawn for the foul line.
A 100-foot arc is drawn from home plate for the home run line.
KICKER – BLINDFOLDED
• The goal of the kicker is to kick the ball inside the base foul lines
and farther than the foul arc.
• The ball is placed on home plate to kick.
• Upon kicking the ball, the kicker listens for one of the bases to
buzz and then runs and tags the base.
• The kicker may kick the ball via a place kick, a running place kick
or a punt.
• The kicker may not step any farther forward than home plate.
FIELDERS – BLINDFOLDED
There are 5 fielders in the field.
• Once the ball is kicked, the fielders can (and should) communicate
with each other.
• The fielders must have the ball in hand and off the ground before
the runner touches the base to get him out. Tie goes to the
defense.
2018 Texas Focus Preconference – Ready, Set, Go! – Gronquist, M. & Seljenes, K. Page 10FIELD SPOTTER – SIGHTED
• Assists the fielders in getting positioned in the field and returning
after each play.
• Alerts his team as to which section of the field the kicked ball is
coming towards.
• The field spotter calls out the name or number of the player the ball
is approaching.
• The field spotter can stop play to avoid collisions and request time
outs.
• The field spotter can communicate information about the kicker,
i.e. left footed, big kicker, etc.
• There can be one or two field spotters.
• FIRST AND THIRD BASE SAFETIES – SIGHTED
• The base safeties make sure the runners don’t collide with
anything (or anyone) by calling “FREEZE!”
• The base safeties guide the kicker back home after running if
needed.
• The base safeties stand between home plate and the base and
visually follows the runner.
• FIELD SAFETY – SIGHTED
• The field safety makes sure the fielders don’t collide with anyone
or anything by calling “FREEZE!”
• The field safety stands behind fielders.
2018 Texas Focus Preconference – Ready, Set, Go! – Gronquist, M. & Seljenes, K. Page 11UMPIRE – SIGHTED
• Before each new kicker, the head umpire (who stands to the side
of home base) announces “READY IN THE FIELD” and the field
spotter replies “READY IN THE FIELD”. It’s up to the FS whether
the fielders count off.
• Then umpire says “QUIET” to the players and spectators so
players can hear the beeping and buzzing.
• Then umpire hands the beeping ball to the kicker and says “PLAY
BALL” and the kicker kicks the ball.
• First and third base safeties double as base umpires and call
“HERE” and raise their arms upon the runner tagging the base.
• The FIELD UMPIRE listens for the “HERE” while watching the
fielders & calls “OUT” or “SAFE”
THE KICKBALL
One kickball is recommended for a group of 10 players but two are
recommended for a group larger than 10. Half of the group can be
practicing the skills while the other half is scrimmaging.

Figure 7 1st International Blind Tennis Congress logo
On February 2014, the 1st. INTERNATIONAL BLIND TENNIS
CONGRESS took place in the cities of Reynosa, Tamaulipas and
McAllen, Texas which at the beginning of the summer of 2013 started
the blind and visually impaired tennis program that was offered to
children and young adults that belonged to Fundación Miradas de
Esperanza A.C. as an innovative project for the development of the
abilities of the students.
Since the sport was so greatly accepted among children and young
adults, Fundación Miradas de Esperanza A.C. decided to work on the
organization of the First International Blind Tennis Congress where
countries such as Japan, South Korea, Spain, Italy, Australia,
Argentina, the United Kingdom, the United States, Mexico, among
others participated.
During this First International Blind Tennis Congress, the first
agreements were discussed, voted, and signed in order to establish the
international regulations for Blind Tennis and at the same time the
International Blind Tennis Association (IBTA).
The objective and effort of this Congress will lead us to promote Blind
Tennis around the world to be able to create the corresponding
Federations that some day will compete among them at the Paralympic
Games.
It is a commitment for all of us to become a more inclusive society for
which this type of projects open new doors to people with visual
disabilities and have them explore new options where they can become
2018 Texas Focus Preconference – Ready, Set, Go! – Gronquist, M. & Seljenes, K. Page 14more independent and are able, with- out a doubt, to have a better
quality of life through sports.

What is Blind Tennis?
It is tennis played by people with sight challenges where a special ball is
used to play the game. The ball emits a rattling sound. This is achieved
by using a special blind table tennis ball containing lead bearings which
is housed inside a sponge ball. Players then listen to the sound and
touch lines on the tennis court in order to track the ball. A conventional
tennis racket is used. The ball even goes over the net, just like a regular
tennis game.
2018 Texas Focus Preconference – Ready, Set, Go! – Gronquist, M. & Seljenes, K. Page 16Blind Tennis or Tennis for the Blind can be played by children, young adults, and adults and it helps them develop their life styles by providing the equilibrium and strength needed for their social, physical, and mental abilities. What makes Blind Tennis so special? It is the fact that for the first time those with sight challenges can play a regular three dimensional tennis game. It is no longer a dream for the visually impaired to hit a ball in the air. It is not only a great way for both the sighted and unsighted to come together, but now, since the rules are easy, everybody can enjoy it with their friends and families too. In a mixed-doubles game, the visually impaired can even play with the sighted. They can each take turns to hit the ball. Everybody can improve their health and motor skills and have fun, too! The Origin Figure 14 Miyoshi Takei 1968-2011. Photograph of him playing tennis with a blindfold. Miyoshi Takei was born in 1968 in Saitama, a neighborhood area of Tokyo. He lost his sight at the age of 1 and a half due to a cancer. He was totally blind and did not have any light perception. He was a masseur, living in Tokyo. Being an active boy and playing baseball with his brothers, Miyoshi could pitch but he was unable to catch or hit a ball. In 1984, Miyoshi was a high school student at the Saitama School for the Blind and Visually Impaired. At the time, he decided to play tennis, but he wanted to play in all three dimensions with a ball that bounced. At first, he tried a plastic baseball and put a small lead bearings inside. He tried other types of balls but it was very difficult to develop a good 2018 Texas Focus Preconference – Ready, Set, Go! – Gronquist, M. & Seljenes, K. Page 17
ball that both bounced and made a clear sound. In 1988, Takei found a sponge ball. He cut it in half and hollowed it out and placed a table tennis ball used by the blind inside. He took it to the National Rehabilitation Center for Persons with Disabilities (NRCD). The rules were developed there and a new sport was born. On October 21st. in 1990, the first tournament was held at the NRCD. Takei´s dream finally came true. Miyoshi was always a very enthusiastic person who never gave up. It is estimated that more tan 3000 people enjoy this sport now around the world. Its international promotion started in 2007. Miyoshi´s dream was that blind tennis would be played at the Paralympics and now we share this dream and we do our best to accomplish it. The Rules The game rules are those dictated by the ITF (International Tennis Federation), plus the following: Use the phrases “Ready?”, “Yes”, “Play” No volleying. If the ball hits the player inside the playing area before the first bounce, it is a point for the opponent. If the ball hits the player outside the playing area before the first bounce it is a point for the player. Bounces: • B1/B2: 3 Bounces • B3: 2 Bounces 2018 Texas Focus Preconference – Ready, Set, Go! – Gronquist, M. & Seljenes, K. Page 18
The Ball A New Ball from April 2011 After different prototypes, a special sponge ball was consolidated for Blind Tennis. Being soft and light, it is safe for the visually impaired when the ball hits their body. The size of the ball is 9 cm in diameter. The players can judge the approximate height, direction, and speed of the incoming ball. It is more durable and it has a better sound compared to the previous balls used. They can be yellow or black. The Japanese ball is the official ball for tournaments. Figure 15 Photographs showing the JBTF ball and the interrior core in several sectional views. The Racket The official racket used by the players can be any accepted by the ITF (International Tennis Federation) according to the size of the court. For B1 max. 23 inches For B2 and B3 max. 25 inches. Figure 16 Photograph of a racket and ball. 2018 Texas Focus Preconference – Ready, Set, Go! – Gronquist, M. & Seljenes, K. Page 19

Introduction
Goalball is a team sport designed specifically for blind athletes,
originally devised in 1946 by the Austrian Hanz Lorenzen and German
Sepp Reindle as a means of assisting the rehabilitation of visually
impaired World War II veterans.
Goalball was introduced as a medal event at the 1976 Paralympic
Games in Toronto after its success as a demonstration event at the
Heidelberg 1972 Paralympic Games.
Because the sport is for the visually impaired, the ball makes noise
when it's in motion so that the players can locate it audibly. For this
reason, silence at events is vital. It is played on a court with tactile
markings so that players can determine their location on the court and
which direction that he/she is facing. Players take turns throwing the ball
at each other's goal.
Duration: Playing time is 24 minutes divided into 2 halves of 12 minutes
each. The game will end once one team leads the other team by 10
goals or time runs out.
2018 Texas Focus Preconference – Ready, Set, Go! – Gronquist, M. & Seljenes, K. Page 24Getting Started First familiarize yourself with the concepts of the game of Goalball. Your second step is to prepare the court (you can use the instruction below). Third you must organize teams, each consisting of 3 members, 1 center and 2 wingers (left and right). You will also need to find a referee that is familiar with the rules and who will be able to start and control the course of the game (or learn the game well enough to do this yourself). Equipment To play Goalball you will need (1) Goalball, 76cm in diameter, and 1.250g in weight, tactile tape (gaffer or painter’s tape), and (6) pair of blacked out ski goggles (blind folds), which are to be used as eyeshades. You may also want to acquire some knee and elbow pads to protect against bruises and floor burns. Basic Rules • Blindfolds: All team members must wear blindfolds at all times during the game. They receive a warning, then a penalty if they mess with their mask during the game. • Time limits: Upon receiving control of the ball, the team has ten seconds to throw the ball back to the opposing team. • Throwing: The ball must be underhand rolled or bowled on the floor rather than thrown. The ball must land before the overthrow line or a “High Ball” is called by the referee. • Coin toss to start: The winner of the coin toss will have the choice of either throwing or defending the ball first, or they may instead choose which end of the court they would like to start play in. The remaining choice will be decided by the other team. • Scoring: A point is scored when the goalball rolls past the defending team and into the goal. 2018 Texas Focus Preconference – Ready, Set, Go! – Gronquist, M. & Seljenes, K. Page 25
Court Dimensions The court is a standard gymnasium volleyball court, which measures (9m wide x 18m long). There are two team areas at either end of the court, which measure (3m wide x 9mlong). Inside the team areas, there are player orientation marks consisting of two 1.5m wing lines and one 0.50m center line. Tactile markings made by using string that is taped down to the floor (gaffer tape or some painter tape can work). IMPORTANT: You may want to use a non-stick tape underneath the duct tape to prevent it from ripping up any varnish or painted lines on the floor. Lines to be taped, are the entire team areas with the player’s orientation lines. The over throw lines, center line, and the outside lines of the neutral area only have to be taped if they don't exist on your volleyball court. These lines only have to be one layer thick because they are used primarily by the referees. Figure 21 Diagram showing a goalball court. Near the goal at each end of the court are wings and center. Mid-court is the Center Line. Between the Center and Center Line is the Over Throw Line on each side of the court. 2018 Texas Focus Preconference – Ready, Set, Go! – Gronquist, M. & Seljenes, K.
