Albany Recreation and Parks and Liz Dennis from the Georgia Association of Blind Athletes joined forces Saturday morning to teach others about a game called “Goalball.”

Goalball is a team sport designed for visually impaired and blind athletes. The object of the game is to throw or roll the ball down the court and get it past the opposing team.
