 Before the formation of the goalball program at Cal, many visually impaired students had never been given the opportunity to showcase their athletic abilities. Now, UC Berkeley is breaking boundaries and providing disabled students with a chance to compete on an official team. UC Berkeley's competitive goalball team is the first of its kind in the United States and is hoping to expand to other campuses and communities. The game is played with three players on a team attempting to throw an audible ball into their opponent's goal. The catch is that all players must wear blacked out goggles during the game, forcing them to rely on the sounds of the ball. Professor Derek VanRenen is one of the individuals responsible for making goalball available to the Cal community. One of the areas that we were interested in trying to create is ways for students and community members to see how sports as a medium can be availed to all participants, and not only in this elite model that often times persists in the United States, where people get cut and they make the higher team and the better team, but that in fact sports should be available to all students and all participants. Before her involvement in the competitive goalball team, fourth year and qualms only option in school athletic programs was sitting on the sidelines while other students engaged in team sports and physical activity. Being hit with a ball, although it's painful, is amazing because I'm actually learning how to take one for the team and communicating with each other. I'm very a competitive person academically, not so much athletically, but I think now I'm beginning to get a hang of that. And working as a team, feeling like you belong as part of something and having the team support you is a really great feeling. On a regular day, you can see Judith making her way through campus with the help of her guide dog, Van Dyke. However, on Fridays, she takes a break from Van Dyke to join her teammates in competitive goalball practice. Cal is really sending the message that everybody regardless of disabilities can play and benefit from a sport. In the future, participants and those involved hope to see goalball grow to include a greater community and strive to create a more inclusive environment at Cal. I see this goalball as indicative of opportunities for people with disabilities as one of the civil rights issues of the 21st century. We need a Title IX for the disabled community to start now.
