YOUR BOCCIA STARTER GUIDES
A little know-how.
A great place to start.
Planning a session is easier when the basics make sense. These guides are written for first-time players, teachers and group organisers.
BOCCIA BASICS
What is boccia?
A small ball with a big idea.
Boccia is a precision ball sport in which two sides try to place their coloured balls nearer to a white target ball. It is easy to recognise, but the decisions can become surprisingly interesting.
YOUR FIRST BOCCIA GAME
How to play boccia.
One end at a time.
Start with the target, follow which side plays next, then count the balls that score. Here is a practical introduction before your first boccia session.
BOCCIA EQUIPMENT, EXPLAINED
The right set
for a good first game.
Looking for a boccia set or wondering what makes a boccia ball different? Start with how your group will use the equipment, then decide what you need.
Organising the session?
Knowing the rules is only one part of the job. Our inclusive sports planning guide covers the questions that make a difference to participation. If you are a teacher looking at funding arrangements, read the boccia SEP enquiry guide before making a booking.
