Boccia is a Paralympic sport originally designed for people with severe cerebral palsy, but now enjoyed by athletes with various disabilities. It’s a co-ed game of control and accuracy, similar to curling, where players aim to propel balls towards a target, or "jack" ball - the closest ball to the jack scores. Players can throw, roll, kick, or use a ramp &/or head pointer if needed. Played indoors, boccia demands precision, focus, and both physical coordination and mental strategy.
The Ontario Cerebral Palsy Sports Association (OCPSA) is the recognized governing body for the sport of Boccia in Ontario.
