Oxfordshires Sports Partnership ' Boccia Revolution' is granted the Inspire Mark

Boccia Revolution is a countywide project to educate, inspire, increase participation, awareness and training in the Paralympic sport of Boccia.

The project aims to develop new Boccia clubs and provide a pathway for participants at a grassroots level as well as the ability to progress to National and International representation leading ultimately to Paralympic selection.

Boccia Leaders Courses are being delivered to train volunteers to run Boccia activities including 12 fun taster sessions in schools, day services and homes for older people to introduce and signpost them to Boccia opportunities. In addition to taster sessions a Disability and Inclusive Sports Information Fair was held last November promoting the sporting opportunities available for people with a disability within Oxfordshire, ensuring that participants learn about Boccia, be inspired to play further and participate regularly.

With the development of regular clubs the project will enable new friendships to be forged as well as encouraging respect for other players, rules and differences in ability.
