Boccia (pronounced botcha) is a Paralympic sport played by physically disabled athletes who are seated (normally in their own wheelchair). Boccia is a sport designed for athletes with severe impairments and has no Olympic equivalent. It is a target ball sport similar in principle to bowls but is played indoors with soft leather balls. It is a sport of intriguing tactics, incredible skill and nail biting tension.
