Boccia is a Paralympic sport. It is a target ball sport which tests both muscle control and accuracy. From a seated position, players propel balls to land close to a white marker ball (known as the jack).

Equipment needed

  • A level playing court (similar to a badminton or tennis court)
  • Balls (six of one colour and one of a different colour to represent the jack)
  • Ramps
  • Cones / tape to mark out the court


See the youtube link below for how the game is played!
