More about Fine Arts

Sportsmanship and teamwork are stressed in our athletic programs. Some of our students’ favorite sports include:

Goalball: Created for athletes who are blind or visually impaired, goalball is played on a court slightly smaller than a basketball court. All of the players wear blindfolds so that no one will have a visual advantage. The players hurl a ball with a bell in it along the court floor as they attempt to roll it toward the other team’s baseline and score a goal.

Our girls and boys goalball teams compete with other Schools for the Blind in the United States Association for Blind Athletes as well as Eastern Association for the Blind tournaments.

Shot put and discus athletes orient themselves using tactile throwing boundaries. Long jumpers and high jumpers may benefit from callers who call out location, counting steps, or the placement of brightly colored visual cues along the competition pathway.

The SC School for the Deaf and the Blind completes in the SC Region I Class A Conference, Mason-Dixon Tournament, and USA Deaf Track and Field.
