Boccia is a precision ball sport that is similar to lawn bowling. It is played on a flat surface, typically indoors, where players aim to throw their balls as close as possible to a target ball, known as the jack. The game can be played individually or in teams, and it is popular among people with disabilities, as it can be played from a seated position. The sport is governed by the World Boccia Federation and is included in the Paralympic Games. Players use special balls made of leather or synthetic materials, and the game emphasizes strategy and skill. Matches are played in a series of rounds, with points awarded based on proximity to the jack.
