Players will visit the school and then play goal ball with the students. In goal ball, players attempt to roll a large rubber ball into the opposing team's goal. Wearing blindfolds, players track the location on the ball based on sound, as each ball has a jingling bell inside, and they use their bodies to try to block the shot. Bruins players will wear darkened goggles and kneepads.
