Visually impaired boccia project a great success

Last summer we launched a new educational resource dedicated to visually impaired (VI) boccia, in conjunction with British Blind Sport. We were also able to make a funded VI Boccia Development Package available to eight organisations looking to develop and deliver VI boccia. Here we share some of their experiences.

What is boccia?

Boccia is a Paralympic target sport, similar to bowls, which is played indoors by disabled players. Currently the fastest growing disability sport in the world, propelling balls to land as close as possible to a marker ball is the aim of the game and having originated in ancient Greece and Egypt, the sport is now played in over 50 countries worldwide.
