The very first athletes to play goalball were veterans who lost their sight fighting in World War II.

From casual recreation to the Paralympics, a growing number of programs are helping visually impaired people flex their athletic muscles.

Goalball, designed for World War II vets who'd lost their vision, is among the sports played at the Paralympic Games and the only one invented specifically for the blind and visually impaired. Now a group of people is trying to bring the sport to Seattle, hoping to increase physical activity in a community with few such outlets and instill the life skills that sports can promote.
