Description
Boccia ball is a fun, strategic, energetic, competitive, and adapatable sport that is great for all ages and abilities. As a USA Paralympic sport, the objective of boccia ball is to throw leather balls as close as possibe to a white target or "jack". Boccia ball is played inside on a long narrow court. At the end of the game, the player closest to the "jack" receives one point.
Come out and give it a try! We have adapted equipment to help with throwing. Boccia ball can be easily adapted for multiple sclerosis, cerebral palsy, spina bifida, quadriplegics, or people who are blind.
