Boccia has been part of the Paralympic games since 1984. It can be played one-on-one, in pairs, or in teams of three. It is played on a specially marked court, on a gymnasium floor. The object of the game is to throw or roll game balls so that they land as close as possible to a target ball called a the jack. The game begins with a player throwing the white target ball onto the court. The opponent then throws. The player or team that is not closest to the jack must then throw until they put a ball closer to the jack. This continues until all balls are thrown.

A game of skill, concentration and finesse, Boccia is a Paralympic sport for athletes with a high level of disability. Athletes compete in wheelchairs and throw, kick or use a ramp to propel leather balls as close as possible to a white ball which serves as the target. While Australia will not contest Boccia at London 2012, players around the country already have their sights set on competing in Rio 2016. Find out more why so many athletes have dedicated their lives to achieving success in this thrilling sport.

The aim of the sport is to propel balls so they finish as close as possible to a special white target ball, known as the 'jack'. Each player, pair or team gets six balls on each end. At the close of each end, the athlete, pair or team whose ball is closest to the jack scores one point, and receives an additional point for every ball that sits closer to the jack than the opposition's closest ball. Individual and pairs matches consist of four ends, while team events are held over six ends. Boccia is played by wheelchair athletes with cerebral palsy and related locomotor conditions, with players required to be in a seated position within a throwing box at one end of the playing court. The classification system ensures an even playing field for athletes to compete against others with similar disabilities. There are four classes in total. BC1 class athletes may have an assistant to perform actions such as handing them the boccia balls, BC2 class athletes require no assistance on court and BC3 class athletes deliver each ball by using a ramp and have a sports assistant who they instruct to position the ramp for each delivery. BC4 athletes often use an underhand pendulum swing to release the ball.
