Classification

Goalball is open to athletes with a visual impairment and classifications are broken down into three groups:  B1, B2 and B3.

All classifications must be made by measuring the best eye and to the highest possible correction. This means that all athletes who use contact lenses or correcting glasses normally must wear them during classification, whether or not they intend to use them during competition.
