Boccia is a highly competitive precision ball sport played on a flat, smooth surface where players throw or roll colored balls as close as possible to a white target ball known as “the jack”. Played individually, in pairs and/or teams, the winner is the player, pair or team with the most balls near the jack.

Boccia balls are made in a variety of hardness and some players use a custom designed ramp to roll the ball onto the court. Additionally, some players are allowed to use a pointer, a device or stick that can either be attached to their head or held in their mouth to help them propel the ball onto the court.
