Rochdale Goalball Club exists to encourage and enable active young
people with a visual impairment to participate in a competitive paralympic
team sport. Family and friends are also welcome to join as the sport
is such that not having a visual impairment is not a barrier to participation.
However, goalball is a very physical game and players need to be robust,
agile and fit. The club operates from Siddal Moor Sports College in
Heywood (Autumn and Spring term-time only) and contest national tournaments
on a regular basis. Membership of the club is free but players must
join British Blind Sport to represent the club and be covered by insurance.
