Who plays the Boccia?

I absolutely love playing Boccia. I travel for 2 hours to play.

Who else plays Boccia?

Here is how you play Boccia: 

Boccia is an attack and defend game, with two sides competing over a set number of ends. The aim is to score as many points as possible by placing their set of coloured balls closest to the white jack ball.

• All players must be seated during a game
• A game consists of a series of ends
  • Singles & Pairs = 4 ends
  • Teams = 6 ends
• An end consists of all 13 balls being propelled onto court (the jack, 6 red and 6 blue)
• Decided using a coin toss, the winning player/captain chooses to be red or blue
• Both sides must occupy a designated box on the court from where balls are propelled
• The red side always begins the first end by propelling the jack into court
• In a pairs or team match each player propels the jack onto court in turn
• In a singles match both players will alternate twice
• The player who propels the jack ball also propels their first coloured ball
• A player from the opposite side then propels their first coloured ball
• The side not closest to the jack plays until they get closer, or run out of balls
• The end is complete when all balls from both sides have been propelled
• One point is awarded for every ball of the same colour, which is closest to the jack
• Points scored each end are accumulated to give a final score.

Hi @colet, 

Thanks for your post. I don't play Boccia. However, it sounds like great fun. It certainly sounds like you enjoy it!

I haven't played in years. Really enjoyed it when I did. @Globster and I are looking onto starting a team in Coventry.

Thanks for sharing some information about Boccia @colet! I didn't know much about the way it's played, so your post has helped me to understand more about the sport.
