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.
