The ready position in goalball

This is the recommended position to take when awaiting an offensive shot.

  • Stand in opposition with one leg slightly in front of the other.
  • In this position, crouch down towards the floor and keep the balls of the feet in contact with the ground.
  • Keeping the arms extended, place your hands on the ground, shoulder width apart, approximately 30 cm in front of the chest.
  • Keep weight on the ends of the fingers rather than the palms.
