Boccia is a precision ball sport, related to bowls, which is played by competitors with a physical disability or requiring the use of a wheelchair. Two sides compete over a set number of ends, aiming to score as many points as possible by placing their set of coloured balls closest to the white jack ball.
The boccia project delivers weekly and monthly sessions in community venues within Liverpool, including an inclusive boccia league for service users from each centre to form social bonds through competition. Sessions will be up to two hours long and begin with an optional thirty minute healthy lifestyle workshop, interactive quiz, time for tea and socialisation, followed by a 1 hour class. Sessions are led and tailored by a qualified instructor with knowledge and understanding to suit beneficiaries’ needs.
