Blindball

/ˈblaɪndˌbɔl/ noun

Definition

A game or sport played by blind or visually impaired people, or a game played with obscured vision.

Etymology

Compound word from 'blind' (unable to see) and 'ball' (the equipment), describing games adapted for or involving participants without sight.

Kelly Says

Blindball variations like goalball were invented post-WWII for disabled veterans, proving sports can be completely redesigned for different abilities rather than excluding people from play.
