Questions about BOCCIA
Boccia is a Paralympic sport that can be played by anyone, with or without a disability. Originally designed for people with severe cerebral palsy, it is now enjoyed by players with a wide variety of disabilities. It’s easy for a beginner to pick up quickly, but builds in intensity and complexity as players hone their skills.
Everyone! In Paralympic and international games Boccia played people with severely(physical) disabled; Cerebral Palsy (CP), Spinal Cord Injury (SCI), Muscle Dystrophy and so on…. But recently Boccia is played everyone together as one of “Inclusive sports” (Universal Sports).
Boccia is a co-ed sport of control and accuracy, similar to curling or lawn bowling. Games last four or six ends. Players propel balls towards the target or “jack” ball. Each side has six balls (red or blue) per end to try and score points. The closest side to the target ball when all the balls have been played, scores. If the game is tied after all ends have been played, a tie-break end is played. Boccia can be played head to head, in teams of three, or in pairs.
