A wonderful opportunity to for people living with dementia to socialise and take part in Boccia. Boccia is a Paralympic sport with no Olympic equivalent. It is a target ball sport which tests both muscle control and accuracy. From a seated position (which is ideal for wheelchair users), players propel balls to land close to a white marker ball (known as the jack). For players unable to grasp and propel a ball, a ramp can be used.
Boccia is an indoor sport, played on a court of a similar size as a badminton court. Players can compete as an individual, in a pair, or as a team of three.
