Boccia - pronounced 'Bot-cha' - is a fast-growing, paralympic sport. It’s a fun game of strategy and accuracy, played indoors on a court similar in size to a badminton court. Participants throw, kick or use a ramp to propel a ball with the aim of getting closest to a 'jack' ball. Players can compete as an individual, in pairs, or as a team of three.
School Years 3 - 6

Street basketball is an increasingly popular version of the sport, but it has a more easy-going approach to the conventional rules of basketball.
