Disability Sports – Boccia

Boccia is a disability sport similar to carpet bowls only using much lighter balls that can be thrown. Rolled, kicked or propelled down a ramp. Listed below is a few useful links to clubs and resources.

Boccia is a great sport for maintaining muscle and core strength in MD. I credit Boccia to aiding in slowing down my own MD progression and maintaining what level or strength I have. Below is some useful links.

Its a growing sport but like many sports is seriously under represented by females.
