Trust Fit 4 U Co-ordinator Rhonda Richardson explains: “Boccia is an inclusive sport suitable for people of all abilities.

“It is a target sport which promotes co-ordination, concentration and opportunities for communication and teamwork. Boccia is a developing sport and in addition to participating in Boccia with the Fit 4 U Project, many participants have progressed to participate in weekly sessions and clubs organised through local Councils and Disability Sport NI.”
