2011–12 Australia women's national goalball team
The 2011–12 Australia women's national goalball team, known as the Belles, is a goalball team that played in two Paralympic qualifying competitions and the 2012 Summer Paralympics. The official announcement confirming the 2011–12 team was made in May 2012. The team included Jennifer Blow, Meica Christensen, Michelle Rzepecki, Nicole Esdaile, Rachel Henderson and Tyan Taylor. Most of the players, with the exception of Christensen, were relatively new. Their first competition was the International Blind Sports Federation (IBSA) World Goalball Games, with the top two teams qualifying for the Summer Paralympics. While Australia finished second in its pool, it ended the tournament in sixth place following a loss to Israel. Their second major competition was the ISBA Oceania-Africa Goalball Regional Championships, where they beat New Zealand in the semi-final, and again in the final, to qualify for the London 2012 Paralympic Games.
At the Paralympics, the Belles, in the same pool as China, Japan, Canada, the United States and Sweden, played Japan first, losing 1–3. In their second game of pool play, they lost to Canada 1–3. They lost their last two games in pool play by 0–3 to the United States and 5–8 to Sweden. This placed them last in the pool, and they did not qualify for the finals.
