盲人網球Blind Tennis (視障Visually Impaired)

基本資訊：

名稱：盲人網球

識別標章：視障 (綠色狗狗標章)

遊戲說明：

　　球體外覆海綿、內裝電池，擊球、落地皆會發出聲響，球在空中飛也有輕微鈴動聲，供選手辨識揮拍。球較一般網球大，球拍為兒童用網球拍。遊戲規則與一般網球雷同，掛網、未擊中球、擊球出界等都會失分。（武井實良發明，美日等多國都舉辦過國際比賽，會由教練帶領選手實地踩踏邊線了解場地，擊球出界也有人協助撿球。為公平起見，有時選手須戴眼罩打球，因些微視力也會影響比賽結果。我國由「夢想遊園地」引進推廣，但目前尚僅提供教學體驗，未公開比賽。）

Information:

Name: Blind Tennis

Certification: Visually Impaired(Green Dog Mark)

Description:

A sponge ball with batteries is used. The ball beeps when it hits a racquet or the ground, and also rattles subtly so that the players know where it is in the air. The blind tennis ball is larger than a standard tennis ball, and junior tennis racquets are used. The game rules are generally the same, the mainly difference being that the ball can bounce a maximum of two times before needing to be played back to the opposition. To begin, players are led by their coaches around and along the sidelines to familiarize themselves with the court. In some cases, players will wear eye covers as players have varying degrees of visual impairment.
Blind tennis was invented by Mr. Miyoshi Takei from Japan. There are currently several international competitions which are held in a variety of countries, such as the U.S.A and Japan. Blind tennis is promoted by “Justplay” in Taiwan and is currently just a play activity/recreational sport as no formal competition currently exists.
