| Specific purposes |
To enable children to: • get used to balls • kick and stop a ball • enjoy playing blind soccer |
| Considerations for disability characteristics |
• Small metal pieces are installed in the ball to make a rustling sound when the ball is rolling. This makes it possible for players to perceive the location of the ball. Through activities such as positioning and following the ball, players can understand the ball’s movement. • Players call out to each other to work out the location of, and distance to, the ball so that they can kick it ball. Children both with and without visual impairment can enjoy playing blind soccer together. |
| Expected effects and results | • Players can learn how to handle a ball while calling out to each other; this enables them to practice for soccer matches and for other ball games. |
| How to use | • To avoid dangerous physical contact, field players must say “Voy!” to the person holding the ball. A foul is called on players who do not say “Voy.” A person called the guide stands behind the opponents’ goal and tells the offense the location of, distance to, and angle of the goal. |
