Boccia Jamaica

Happy 63rd Independence Day Jamaica! 🖤💚💛

Boccia Jamaica is thrilled that for the first time, the International Paralympic Committee (IPC) has included the Sport of Boccia in one of its Regional Sport Training programs - a type of grant awarded by the IPC to support NPCs in developing Para-Sports locally and regionally.

This is a testament to the continued rapid and sustainable development of Boccia globally and regionally in the Caribbean. This would not be possible without World Boccia, the International Paralympic Committee, and the Jamaica Paralympic Association.

From the 13th to the 15th of March, Jamaica hosted a Regional Sports Training camp supported by the International Paralympic Committee.

As part of this program, Boccia Classification and Referee training was provided to participants from not only Jamaica but also Aruba, Barbados, Grenada, Guyana, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Surname, and Trinidad and Tobago.

Happy Jamaica Day 🇯🇲❤️🇯🇲❤️🇯🇲

Happy Jamaica Day! 🇯🇲

"You don’t need to live in Jamaica to play Boccia for Jamaica" – is a project around creating awareness that Jamaicans with disabilities from all around the global diaspora are encouraged to pick up Boccia balls and play and train with the aspiration of one day competing for the National Jamaican Boccia Team.

Boccia Jamaica recognizes many factors, including systemic racial inequalities, may hinder persons of Jamaican descent living abroad from accessing the sport of Boccia through to competing in it and receiving regular training.

The project will facilitate contact with the Jamaican national Boccia team, assist with obtaining/renewing Jamaican citizenship, and facilitate coaching support in preparation for competitions at the international level.

January is almost over and we are back on court preparing for our first season of competition! 🇯🇲💪🏽

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year from Boccia Jamaica! ❤️
