Boccia is a game of strategy and accuracy that was originally designed to be played by people with cerebral palsy. Now the sport includes athletes with impairments that affect motor skills. Boccia is played on a flat, smooth surface, where players throw or roll colored balls as close as possible to a white target ball, known as the 'jack.' The player, pair, or team with the most balls near the jack wins. Boccia has been a Paralympic sport since its introduction in the 1984 New York Paralympic Games. Competitive Boccia is fairly new to DASA; we compete locally, in travel games, and nationally.
