Boccia – East (Open)

Hundreds of participants from across London will come together to take part in the London Youth Games Boccia event, a fun and inclusive competition.

Boccia is a Paralympic, target-based ball sport where participants take turns aiming boccia balls closest to the target, scoring points for accuracy.

The event is delivered in a supportive, accessible way for wheelchair users, ambulant participants, young people with sensory impairments and young people with severe learning disabilities.

Boccia is a sport which can be adapted for all abilities and provides young participants with the opportunity to be active and develop their teamwork and hand-eye coordination skills. The game involves players taking it in turns to aim their boccia balls closest to the target ball known as the “jack”.

Together, London Youth Games and Chaotic Community are working to make sport more inclusive for everyone. This event and all our ParaGames events are proudly supported by Chaotic, a UK-based competition platform dedicated to supporting families with Special Educational Needs (SEN). Chaotic partners with and sponsors a wide range of community organisations, schools and charities that share its mission. For founder Shana Kennedy, this mission is personal as her son Reyon is autistic.
