Good Afternoon, VSDB Family and Fans! A few weeks ago, our Girls' High School Goalball team and one of our Boys' Goalball athletes competed in the U.S. National High School Goalball Championship! They all performed outstandingly throughout the week. The Girls' team finished the weekend with a 2-2 record, advancing to the first Quarterfinal game. Our Boys' athlete played on a pool team that went 4-3 for the weekend, finishing their gameplay in the Bronze Medal match. We are thrilled to share that two of our players—Morris Ogden and Amayah Hall—earned spots on the All-American team at the end of the weekend! Congratulations to everyone on a weekend well spent. We are so #VSDBProud!

The image depicts a young athlete engaged in a game of goalball, an adaptive sport for individuals with visual impairments. The player is in mid-action, wearing a red and blue jersey with "Virginia" printed across the chest, and a black eye mask with a band around the head. She is holding a bright blue ball, poised to make a play. The background features a red and white net, part of the goal structure. The indoor court setting is evident with portions of players and equipment visible.
The image shows an indoor gymnasium with two players participating in a game of goalball. A female player in a red and blue jersey is lunging to the left, wearing eye shades, and is positioned near the goal line. Another player is lying on the floor closer to the goal's framework. A blue ball is rolling towards the goal. Behind them, a coach in an orange T-shirt watches. The gym has a polished wooden floor with a bright red door on the left. A "Regional Champions" banner is visible on the wall, and two individuals sit on the bench to the right. A small section of red bleachers is visible in the background.
The image shows an indoor sports scene with a player wearing a red and blue jersey holding a bright blue ball. The player is positioned in profile, bent slightly forward, and wearing a black blindfold. The background features wooden benches, some of which have a figure in a blue jacket sitting and observing the game. The benches have red padding labeled with the word "DRAGONS" in white text.
The image shows a person participating in a goalball game, a sport designed for athletes with visual impairments. The athlete is captured in motion, wearing a black blindfold and protective gear including a red jersey with blue long sleeves and black knee pads. The individual is in the process of throwing a blue ball with one hand, showcasing an athletic posture. Behind the player is a goal with a net and white netting spread throughout the frame. The setting is an indoor gymnasium with wooden floors and brown bleachers in the background.
The image is a collage of two photos. The left photo shows a person wearing a bright green jersey with the number "4" printed in white. They are standing against a light-colored brick wall, holding a blue sports bag with black straps over their shoulder and wearing black and red sports shoes. The right photo depicts the same person in an indoor sports setting. They are stretching on a polished wooden court in front of a white net, wearing what appears to be a similar green jersey. The person's left leg is extended while their right knee is bent. Part of another person's arm and legs can be seen in the lower right corner.
