Events are tailored to the age of the pupils in our Paralympics Workshop.
EYFS
Goalball
Goalball is a specifically designed sport for visually impaired athletes. The children will play in 3-a-side matches wearing eye shades, aiming to score past the opposite team. The game is played by throwing a ball with bells inside at a high speed to their opponents’ goal. The children will learn agility, skill and courage.
Obstacle Course
Friendship is a core Olympic value and in this event children will work closely with a friend to guide their blindfolded partner through a fun and challenging obstacle course. As well using listening and communication skills, the children will practise agility and balance to navigate around the course.
Seated Volleyball
The children will aim to hit the ball over a net to the opposition’s court, while keeping their lower body on the floor at all times. The children will compete in 3-a-side matches in what is said to be one of the fastest, most dynamic games in the Paralympic programme.

Boccia
