That looks like fun. I'd like to give it a go.

We saw that on Saturday when we had a Day Pass. Fascinating sport to watch, in total silence. We saw Paralympics GB against Sweden, which was 3-3. I came away thinking I wanted to see a match where one side scored much higher, so that I could get more of a sense of how a better team played. It was surprisingly physical.

Seated volleyball is my favourite. Looks a lot of fun, and much faster than the regular game.

Taller guy used to 'help out' at goalball sessions for a while.  As everyone wore blindfolds it didn't matter that he was sighted.
