  • Boccia Knockout Manual
    Department of Education Boccia Knockout Manual app.education.nsw.gov.au/sport/disabilities Table of Contents What is Boccia? ………………………………............................................................................................................. 3 Basic Strategy ………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… 4 Court Size …………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………. 5 Equipment ………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………. 6 Ramps and other assisting devices ………………………………………………………………………………………. 7 Resources ………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… 8 Paralympic Classification …………………………………………………………………………………………………………… 9 General Rules ….………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………. 9 NSW Public Schools Knockout Competition …………………………………………………………………….. 10 What is Boccia? As a sport, Boccia was originally predominantly played by athletes with cerebral palsy, but has now expanded to include athletes with other disabilities that affect motor skills. All athletes are required to be seated when releasing the ball, and most play from a wheelchair. Athletes can throw, kick or even use a ramp (and a ramp assistant that you get to boss around) to get the ball where you want it to go. • Boccia (pronounced 'Bot-cha') is a Paralympic sport introduced in 1984. • It has no Olympic counterpart. • Athletes throw, kick or use a ramp to propel a ball onto the court with the aim of getting closest to a 'jack' ball. • It is designed specifically for athletes with a disability affecting locomotor function. • It is played indoors on a court similar in size to a badminton court. Boccia is widely played as an educational and recreational game, particularly in schools. At Paralympic level, Boccia is one of only two sports which do not have an Olympic counterpart with Goalball being the other. Boccia is played on a court measuring 12.5 × 6 m with 2 m of empty space around it. The surface of the court is flat and smooth. The throwing area is divided into six rectangular throwing boxes in which the athletes must stay completely within during play.
