Boccia

Boccia is a paralympic sport solely for wheelchair users and is very similar to bocce ball or curling. Players are on one side of the court and propel blue or red balls toward the white ball, which is known as The Jack. Games can be played 1 on 1, 2 on 2, or 3 on 3. The great thing about Boccia is that anyone who is in a wheelchair can play. Athletes can propel the ball with their hands, feet or even push it off a ramp using a pointer on their head or in their mouth. No matter the athlete’s range of motion, trunk control or grip strength, anyone can play!
