Blind Cricket is similar to traditional cricket however; the ball has a bell inside and is rolled
instead of thrown. The batters use a sweeping action to hit the ball and the scores work slightly
differently too.
Goalball is the only true hand-ear coordination game in the world. Played in an area the size of a
volleyball court, a 1kg ball with bells inside is rolled down the court towards a goal that is
defended by 3 players who must listen for the ball and put their bodies in front of it to protect
their goal. A goalball team can have up to six members, with three people on the court at a time
(other 3 can ‘sub-on’ at any time)
Played by both blind and partially sighted players, VI Football is played on a solid surface. There
are five players in each team and outfield players must wear eye-patches and blindfolds. The
goalkeeper is sighted, but cannot leave the area. The football contains ball bearings so that it
makes a noise when it moves and there are no off-side rules.
Powerchair football is played in a gymnasium on a regulation basketball court. Two teams of four
players use power chairs to attack, defend and spin-kick a 13 inch football in an attempt to score
goals. This is a great sport for helping you develop your ability to manoeuvre your chair and work
in a team. Football guards provided and one spare powerchair available on the day.
A 5-a side sport similar to powerchair football, balloon soccer uses a specialised balloon similar in
size to a weather balloon and as light as a normal balloon. One spare powerchair and manual
wheelchairs are available on the day.
Boccia is a game of skill and strategy and is a truly inclusive sport for all. Similar to lawn bowls
and petanque, Boccia is a non-contact target sport that is played indoors with soft leather balls
on a smooth rectangular court and can be played as individuals, in pairs or teams of three. In this
session, you can learn the basics of the sport and get some top tips for the competition that
follows later in the year.
Adapted Badminton is a Paralympic sport that can be enjoyed by most. Northland Badminton
Association will work with you to ensure you can join in and learn the game.

Photography policy:
This is a very exciting event for the Halberg Disability Sports Foundation and Parafed Northland; it is also a great opportunity to showcase our work to a wider audience than those
attending. With this in mind, we plan to invite some newspapers to help us. As such some athletes may be interviewed / photographed during the event.
In order to promote the work of the Halberg Disability Sport Foundation and Parafed Northland, we often profile these events, and their participants in online, print and social media, as well
as public relations material and video footage. All material collected is used specifically to enhance the work of the Halberg Disability Sport Foundation and Parafed Northland. Images and
content may also be supplied to external news media to further achieve this goal. It is important for our ongoing success that we continue to develop this material.
On behalf of the Halberg Disability Sport Foundation and Parafed Northland, thank you for your co-operation.
Awards and Prize Giving
This event is predominantly an opportunity to try a new sport, however there will be a number of awards and prizes on offer throughout the day. Awards and prizes will be presented at the
