Arizona Goalball
We are excited about having the competitive Goalball program up and running at ASDB. This year's team consisted of 6 participants: Dalaih Flake, Pearison Begay, Amanda Simmons, Terri Partain, Kent Hoge and Mike Begay. We also had one practice player who was always eager to come and play on the days that we practiced: Vanessa Hernandez. Two of our players had never played Goalball before, and did an outstanding job learning and developing their skills. For the others who have played goalball programs in the past, we continued to refine the basic mechanics of the game.
