Boccia

Similar to the Italian game of 'Bocce', Boccia is a bowling game played by athletes whose arm and hand strength may be affected. The game tests the player's accuracy, strength and concentration abilities; the main aim of the game is to throw the boccia balls as close as possible to a white jack.
