An organisation championing disabled sport in the Netherlands is expanding the number of bocce and goalball clinics it offers with the help of portable courts and goals from Packaworld International.
源自新西兰的创新器材公司Pacakaworld目前和一家支持荷兰残疾人运动的组织一起合作，运用便携式的装备，让更多人参与到地掷球和盲人门球运动中来。
GehandicaptensportNederland is a national sports federation that runs competitions and introductory clinics for disabled people who want to play goalball, bocce, para ice hockey, wheelchair hockey, boccia, 5-a-side football and showdown. Bocce and goalball sessions have historically been challenging to run because traditional courts and goals are difficult to transport.
Gehandicaptensport 是荷兰国家级体育协会，负责运营和组织相关残障人士运动比赛，主要项目有盲人门球，地掷球，残障冰球，轮椅曲棍球，滚木球，五人室内足球。但是地掷球场和盲人门球的推广一直以来因为器材的安装和运输不便因素而所受限制。
Gehandicaptensport Nederland sports coordinator Joris van Impelen said the portability of the inflatable Packabocce courts and Goalball Packagoals was allowing volunteers to expand the number of clinics being run at schools and sports clubs across the Netherlands.
机构负责人Joris Van Impelen表示，Packaworld的便携球场和球门让志愿者迅速开展这两项运动在荷兰各个学校和俱乐部的发展。
“We are running more clinics now because we can take the Packaboccecourts and goalball goals to more places. We were hesitant about running clinics for both of those sports before because set up was so difficult.”
"我们正在开展更多的活动因为Packaworld器材很方便就可以带到各地去，以前我们总是很不情愿因为这两项运动的老式器材真是太笨重了，而且非常不容易安装”志愿者如是说。
Last year Gehandicaptensport Nederland ran more than 30 bocce clinics across the Netherlands, introducing the sport to more than 300 people with disabilities.With the help of the new bocce courts, they expect to increase that number even further, Mr Impelen said.
去年协会在荷兰一共运行了超过30场地掷球活动，让300多残障人士参与进来。在Packaworld器材的帮助下，他们期待活动能进一步扩充发展。负责人Impelen先生说。
Similar results were expected for goalball due to the portability and ease of set up and storage of the new Goalball Packagoals.
希望盲人球场也能借助Packaworld器材取得和地掷球场发展一样的效果。
Packaworldchief executive Peter Roberts said the way the new bocce courts and goalballgoals were being used in the Netherlands was a “perfect illustration” of the difference portable sports gear could make.
Packaworld CEO 皮特 罗伯茨表示，新型盲人球门和地掷球器材在荷兰的使用，是针对各类便携运动器材一个完美的实用案例。
“The ability to bring the game with you can be the difference between someone experiencing the joy of sport, or not having the opportunity to play at all.It’s fantastic to see our courts and goals being used to bring sport to people with disabilities in the Netherlands.”
当人们一直渴望获得某项运动快乐，但是却受制于各种因素，这无疑是非常令人沮丧。但如今，我们很高兴看到这么多荷兰的残障人士能够享受运动带来的快乐。
Packabocce courts are growing in popularity around the world. They are used in a range of settings, including restaurants, lifestyle villages, cruise ships, luxury resorts, and social leagues run in bars and pubs. They are also widely used by Special Olympics clubs and organisations, including formany national, regional and international competitions.
Packaworld地掷球场在世界各地持续变得流行开来。从餐厅，到休闲度假村，游轮，旅游疗养胜地，甚至形成了社区/酒吧的联赛。特殊奥林匹克俱乐部和组织也在我们的客户使用名单当中。
Packaworld’s Goalball Packagoals were developed in consultation with Blind Sport New Zealand.They are increasingly used by organisations around the world to run local competitions and introductory goalball sessions designed to grow participationin the Paralympic sport.
Pacaworld的盲人门球是在新西兰盲人运动协会研讨下成功研发的产品，并开始服务于世界范围内的机构，帮助他们开展比赛活动，增加特奥会对该项目的参与度。
Whatis bocce? 地掷球是什么？
Bocce is an ideal sport for people of all ages and abilities because it relies on skill rather than athleticism. Originating in Italy during the time of the Roman Empire, it shares a common heritage with bowls and petanque. However, itis played in a court with walls, allowing for different strategies such as rebound plays.
地掷球是一种适合各年龄段的运动，它更多依靠的是技巧而不是强调发达的运动机能。源自于古罗马帝国，他和草地滚球和法式滚球类似，但Bocce球场边界鲜明，需要特定围起来的球场，在封闭的环境下去让运动充满各项技巧和战术。
Whatis goalball?什么是盲人门球？
Goalball is a Paralympic sport developed with blind and visually impaired athletes in mind.Teams of three players try to roll a 1.25kg ball with bells inside across an indoor court and into a nine-metre-wide goal. Opposing players try to block the ball from entering their net by diving. Blind and sighted players all wear blackout visors to create an equal playing field, relying on sound to identify where the ball is.
盲人门球一项特殊奥林匹克运动会的项目，由视力障碍的人们发明。每一队三名成员要试图通过滚动一颗重达1.25千克的特殊用球去攻破对手把手的9米长的大门，而对方队员则可以通过侧身扑救阻挡球。所有运动员佩戴眼罩达到比赛公平原则，仅通过声音去判断球路。这项运动目前在普通人当中也慢慢发展开来，因为所有人都可以体验在黑暗的情况下，运用听力去进攻去防守，相当有趣。
