Beginner's Guide:

Boccia is an inclusive sport that can be played by children with varying disabilities, and is aimed at children with physical, severe and mild learning disabilities. It is a game similar to bowls where each team's objective is to try and position their balls as close to the white target ball (jack) as possible. To propel the ball a competitor may throw, roll or kick the ball. An assisted device or 'chute' may be used if required.

Competition format:

The competition will be held as a round robin format followed by semi-final and final, with simulataneous play on two courts. Matches will be 15 minutes long. All competitors must be seated and remain in their boxed area at all times.
