Boccia - An inclusive Paralympic sport
Boccia Hire
Played in teams from a seated position, Boccia is an inclusive Paralympic sport that is easy to learn and fun for everybody. The concept of the game is similar to bowls; The aim is to propel (roll, throw, kick, or push) a set of balls and position them closer to the white ball than the opposing team.
Our structured sessions for schools and groups can be adapted to suit most age groups. For younger children we use the game to raise awareness of disability, do some maths outside of the classroom and work on motor skills and coordination. For older groups, we’ll bring in tactical aspects, skills and play by Olympic rules. We usually pair Boccia with Kurling to provide additional variety to the sessions.
Boccia is also a great drop in activity which has been used for a number of corporate/company events.
