By becoming a member, you gain access to our extensive goalball program. We have several membership types covering all ages and all experience levels.
Children
Super Shades – $50
Age: 6 and under
This early childhood program has been developed in consultation with an Occupational Therapist to support the development of children with low vision through the sport of goalball.
This program consists of 5 60-minute sessions designed to support early skill development through play-based, sensory-focused activities. The plans emphasise orientation, body awareness, listening skills, social interaction, and confidence in movement—all key components in occupational therapy for children with vision impairment.
Each session follows a consistent structure to build routine and comfort:
- Welcome & Orientation (10 mins)
- Warm-Up Activity (10 mins)
- Skill-Based Games (30 mins)
- Cool Down & Reflection (10 mins)

Volunteer Membership – Free
Volunteer membership will continue to be free. We’re incredibly grateful for the time, skills, and energy our volunteers contribute.
For events like the Australian Goalball Championships, any funding support will need to be approved by VGA. To ensure fairness, priority for funding will be given to active volunteers who are regularly involved in goalball activities.
