Goalball

"Goalball is a highly competitive sport played three-against-three, indoors on a gym floor--primarily by blind and visually impaired athletes."

Before we go any further, let me add that Goalball could just as easily be a pick-up-gamishly fun thing to play with just about anybody.

"Games are usually quite competitive and exciting to watch. Two teams play on either end of the 60x40 foot court. Players are blindfolded to make the game fair."

If you don't have a blindfold, I note, try a grocery bag, or a sock tied over your eyes.

"The object is to throw a three-pound Goalball, which is sort of like a heavy basketball, past the opposing team."

Allow me to note that you could just as easily use a coffee can with some pennies or marbles or jingle bells in it.

"Now you may be asking yourself, "how do the players keep track of the ball if they're blind?" The ball has bells in it... sounding a lot like Christmas "jingle bells..." that allow the players to listen for it. When they hear the ball coming towards their end of the court, they dive, usually head-first, towards it hoping to block it with their body and stop it. If all three players miss the ball and it goes past the back line, it is considered a goal. The team with the most goals wins the game."
