Boccia is a simple target game. It is also a complex competitive sport requiring the strategy of a chess master, the precision of a billiards player,  and the patience of a hunter.  

Time on court is best teacher.   Below are some suggestions to get started 

A Boccia ball can become a surprisingly powerful tool for teamwork, strategy, communication, and competitive skill‑building. The most effective programs use Boccia not only as a precision sport, but as a creative platform for group problem‑solving and cooperative play.

 A Boccia Court is 10 m deep x 6 m

wide. Six throwing boxes, 2.5

meters deep, are placed on one

end.

 If playing in smaller areas, set up

the front line and estimate the V

line. You don’t need to set up

throwing boxes.

Use existing lines on the floor to quickly set up as a Boccia court.

BC 3 Ramp Athletes/ Ramp Operators are Amazing! 

BC3 athletes bring a level of strategy, patience, and creativity that rivals any precision sport. They:

• Make complex decisions about angles, height, ball placement, and timing.
• Visualize the court in three dimensions and plan multiple shots ahead.
• Adapt constantly to changing positions, blocks, and pressure.

Ramp operators are not “helpers”—they are trained, disciplined partners who:

• Follow strict rules to ensure fairness and athlete autonomy.
• Translate the athlete’s vision into precise physical adjustments.
• Maintain consistency under pressure, especially in tight matches.
