Organized sports for people with vision impairment (VI) started more than 100 years ago. After WWl, the many wounded young soldiers who had lost their eyesight partly or totally during the war needed some fun physical training, and Goalball was invented in Germany as part of their rehabilitation.

Sport for the Blind has steadily been growing since, and today a wide variety of VI sports and games are available – and more sports are beeing invented!

The use of masks

Many people wonder why blind people use masks or eyeshades when they do their sport? They do so to set everyone on equal footing: no sight and no light is allowed during blind sports.

This rule makes it easy for sighted people to join the fun: wear an effective Blind Sport mask and you can play on equal footing with the visually impaired friends!

In Handi Life Sport we give priority to Blind Sport equipment, and we are constantly improving our VI products and developing new VI equipment.
