Boccia
Boccia for kids can be mentally demanding. It is one of the best kids’ activities for developing concentration that children may not be using so much when in the classroom or playing other sports in school.
Boccia is a sport that will challenge your child mentally while encouraging them to enjoy an active lifestyle. If you are looking for interesting after-school classes, boccia will be an excellent choice. |
Boccia can be played by both able-bodied and disabled people of all ages. Boccia was designed for players with cerebral palsy but welcomes any athletes with severe disabilities which affect their motor skills. It is similar to bowls and kurling, but adapted so that it can be played indoors in places such as a school sports hall. It is a game that requires concentration, strategy and skill and is great for developing key skills such as coordination and accuracy.
