Boccia is a disability sport which is similar to bowls and petanque.  The aim of the game is to propel leather balls coloured red, or blue, close to a  white target ball (the jack).  It is played from a seated position and the ball can be moved with the players hands, feet or an assistive device e.g. a head or hand pointer.

The club is open to adults and young people aged 14 + with disabilities.  

The volunteer role will involve in assisting club members to play boccia.  There may be the opportunity for the volunteer to attend relevant training to assist with their role.

What skills do I need?
