SPORTS - BOCCIA
ORGANISATIONS
| Making its debut as a Paralympic sport in 1992, Boccia has ancient origins and tests each competitor's degree of muscle control and accuracy. Competing in wheelchairs, cerebral palsy athletes throw, kick or use a chute device to propel leather balls as close as possible to a small white ball which serves as the jack (target). Players compete in team and individual events on an equal level. |
