The Benefits of Sport and Recreational Activities

Being active can make a real difference if you are blind or visually impaired. Sports, hobbies, and recreational activities help improve fitness, mobility, confidence, and independence, while also creating opportunities to meet people and feel more connected. Whether through sport, music, clubs, or creative activities, staying involved supports mental wellbeing, reduces isolation, and helps build everyday life skills — contributing to a stronger sense of confidence and belonging.

Disability sport in South Africa is both highly popular and internationally successful. Athletes with visual impairments compete at the Paralympic Games, where the South African Paralympic team has consistently finished near the top of the medal table. In fact, South African athletes with disabilities have often outperformed their able-bodied counterparts at the Paralympics when compared to Olympic results. Since the 1970s, disability sport has grown significantly, with improved structures, increased recognition, and opportunities for some athletes to earn a living through sport.

Whether you’re joining in or cheering from the sidelines, sport brings people together, inspires communities, and helps challenge the stigma around disability.

4. Steps to Getting Active and Involved

i. Consider costs of Equipment and Adaptions you will require

When planning to participate in any sport, it is important to consider the full range of costs involved. Within the visual impairment spectrum, some sports require little or no adapted equipment, while others rely on specialised aids to ensure safe and fair participation.

Equipment needs vary depending on the sport and classification. For example, athletes in the B3 class may require different forms of support depending on the activity, including sighted guides, guide rails, beeping or audible balls, and slapsticks. Some sports allow or require the use of a guide, while others do not permit guides at all. In certain cases, modified or specially designed equipment is essential. As participation in disability sport continues to grow, assistive technology is constantly evolving to better support athletes’ needs. Both equipment requirements and the possible need for a guide should form part of your decision-making process.

Beyond equipment, there are additional costs to consider, such as transport to training sessions and competitions, accommodation for out-of-town events, entry fees, and ongoing equipment maintenance. Understanding these costs upfront can help you choose a sport that suits your budget and plan realistically for participation. For more information on assistive devices, audible equipment, and suppliers, visit our Assistive Devices

The use of a sighted guide by people in this class is dependent on the specific requirements of the sport. In athletics, where the parallel classification is T13, runners do not use guides in competition and generally do not use them in training. In cycling, this classification uses a guide, while utilizing a tandem bicycle with the guide sitting at the front. When a cyclist is looking for a guide, they are encouraged to find one with a pace similar to their own.

The sighted guides for athletes with a visual impairment are such a close and essential part of the competition that the athlete with visual impairment and the guide are considered a team. Beginning in 2012, these guides (along with sighted goalkeepers in 5-a-side football became eligible to receive medals of their own.

ii. Organisations that can assist with support and expenses

If you are not in a position to afford the equipment you require, consider looking for Organisations that can sponsor equipment and other expenses, such as the QASA Education and Sports Fund and Bidii Yetu – No Limits.

Bidii Yetu - No Limits

Bidii Yetu No Limits is a U.S.-based 501(c)(3) non-profit organization registered in New Mexico and dedicated to promoting the inclusion of persons with disabilities through sports.

Their mission was exemplified by organizing adaptive and able-bodied cycling events, such as a notable journey that the organised covering over 3,000 kilometres across five countries in Southern Africa. Furthermore, Bidii Yetu showed their commitment to creating awareness and growing the sport of Adaptive Cycling by donating money raised during the cycling event, to various organisations involved in Adaptive Cycling, including DiSA.
 
In 2024, after completing this amazing event, Bidii Yetu No Limits joined our “Accessible Cities South Africa (AC – SA)” platform by providing funding to DiSA to help promote adaptive cycling and create awareness for the benefits of sport for persons with disabilities.

Once you have considered the full range of costs involved, including the specialized equipment you will require, lets have have a look at the next 3 Steps.

iv. Get a Classification

To compete formally, especially at Paralympic, or Special Olympic level, you must undergo functional classification based on your physical, visual, or intellectual impairment. This helps ensure fair competition.

Classification determines which athletes are eligible to compete in a sport and how those athletes are then grouped together for competition in order to minimise the impact of the athletes’ impairments on sport performance. This is done to safeguard the integrity of fair competition.

Classification is sport-specific because an impairment affects the ability to perform in different sports to a different extent.

Athletes undergoing evaluation - Classification Process

The B3 classification is used, in order for athletes of varying degrees of visual impairment to be able to compete. The classification process is a medical based Paralympics classification for blind sport. Competitors in this classification have partial sight, with visual acuity from 2/60 to 6/60. It is used by a number of blind sports including Para-alpine skiing, Para-Nordic skiing, blind cricket, blind golf, five-a-side football, goal ball and judo. Some other sports, including adaptive rowing, athletics and swimming, have equivalents to this class

Athletes with visual impairments ranging from partial vision, sufficient to be judged legally blind, to total blindness. This includes impairment of one or more component of the visual system (eye structure, receptors, optic nerve pathway, and visual cortex).

Eligible Paralympics sports for the B3 classification include adaptive rowing, athletics, cycling five-a-side football, goal ball, judo, Para-alpine skiing, Para-Nordic skiing, and swimming. On the Paralympics level, a number of disability sports are not open to this classification or other visually impaired competitors including archery, basketball, boccia, curling, fencing, ice sledge hockey, power lifting, rugby, shooting, table tennis, tennis, volleyball. Equestrian sport is not open to Paralympics sport in this classification, and the FEI classification system has no parallel classification available for other levels of national and international competition. For non-Paralympics sports or sports removed from the Paralympics programme, the classification is used in blind golf and lawn bowls.

Performance can differ for this class compared to other blind classes. In swimming, the B1 class is significantly slower than B2 and B3 classes in 100 meter freestyle. The B3 class is significantly faster than B1 and B2 in the 100 meter backstroke.

The B3 classification was first created by the IBSA in the 1970s, and has largely remained unchanged since despite an effort by the International Paralympics Committee (IPC) to move towards a more functional and evidence-based classification system. Classification is often handled on the international level by the International Blind Sports Association (IBSA) although it is also handled by national sport federations. There are exceptions for sports like athletics and cycling.
