About Boccia England

Boccia (pronounced bot-cha) is the most inclusive sport you’ll find! It's easy to play, but harder to master!

Boccia is a Paralympic sport with no Olympic equivalent. It’s a target ball sport which tests both muscle control and accuracy. From a seated position (and therefore ideal for wheelchair users) players propel balls to land close to a white marker ball – the jack. If you’re unable to grasp and propel a ball a ramp can be used.

It’s an indoor sport, played on a court roughly the same size as a badminton court. You can compete as an individual, in a pair, or as a team of three.

Our commitment to the Armed Forces Community

Our ambition is to support the Armed Foces Community by offering boccia to everyone & anyone.

We beleive that boccia is the more inclusive sport in the world and we think that everyone should have the opportunity to play. Boccia is a target ball game, and everyone who plays the game is seated. Making it a fair playing field for those who are wheelchair users. The aim of boccia is the propell the ball as close to the Jack (White) ball as possible.

You DO NOT need the equipment to play boccia, you can play with rolled up socks! We want to offer this opportunity to everyone in the Armed Forces Community by offering training for those who wish to deliver, Games for those who wish to play and the basic rules to play the game.

We beleive that boccia would be great for coffee mornings on camps, families days, Armed Forces Day, playing with friends/family in a community setting or evening playing at home.
