What is Boccia?
Boccia is a Paralympic sport. It’s a game of strategy and accuracy, originally designed to be played by people with cerebral palsy, but now including athletes with impairments that affect motor skills.
Gotcha Boccia is open to everyone to try the sport, regardless of impairment.
12 New Zealanders have represented their country in Boccia at the Paralympic Games.
