What is boccia?

Boccia (pronounced bot-cha) is a target ball sport which tests both muscle control and accuracy.  From a seated position, players propel balls to land close to a white marker ball (jack).  Two sides compete as individuals, pairs or teams of three over a set number of ends.  The tactics of the sport offer both tension and excitement as the game plays out.
