  • Current drills focus on getting to know the basketball court and feeling a ring and backboard to know the size of the goal.
  • Dribbling, bounce passes, shooting, team passing and movements in a half-court and full-court setting.
  • We have modified equipment such as a bell ball, sound rings, floor rings, a braille map of the basketball court etc.

Anyone who is blind or has vision loss. We cater for any age.

Everybody who wishes to give blind/vision-impaired basketball a go is welcome!
