Instructions

Explain the basic rules of blind football and ask them what would happen if the match finished up as a draw. As with any knockout match, the answer is a penalty shootout. In this situation, someone who is sighted will tap each post to give the penalty taker an idea of where the goal is.

Each player will be blindfolded and step up to take a penalty against a sighted goalkeeper. They will touch the ball and listen to the taps against the post and then take the penalty. This can either be continued until there is a winner or limited to a certain number of penalties each.
