Boccia

The Most Inclusive Sport

Boccia is a Paralympic Sport of precision and strategy, similar to lawn bowling or curling. It is one of only two Paralympic Sports that do not have an Olympic counterpart. Athletes compete in a specific sports class based on their level and type of disability.

Boccia is considered the most inclusive sport in the world and is played at all levels, from recreational all the way up to Paralympic competition.

  • Stories of Success

“When my son was younger he and his friends used to play all the time. As his friends grew up they started to play stand-up sports and he began to feel left out. This all changed when he found Easter Seals. Here he feels included with life-long friends. I can’t describe the pride I feel when I see him laughing at wheelchair basketball.”
