Annual Hong Kong Boccia Competition for the Elderly
Since 2003, Helping Hand have been introducing and promoting this sport to the elderly, and provide related training so that they can show their skills and enjoy the sport.
Accessible sport for all
The ball used in boccia is very light and suitable for all people, including the frail and even wheelchair-bound elderly and disabled people.It is the best sport for elderly as it can strengthen their back strength and hand-eye coordination, help them to develop their potential, affirm their self-image and widen their social circle.
The tournament attracts more than 1,000 participants every year, reflecting the popularity of boccia among the elderly.
Boccia promotion courses
We provide two categories of Boccia promotion courses:
1. Trial classes
Aim to provide participants with an initial understanding of the basic gameplay and simple rules of boccia. It is primarily targeted to groups interested in boccia.
2.
Instructor training classes
Aim to train as instructors to help the elderly learn boccia, game skills, and game strategies. It is aimed at staff from various organisations, as well as those interested in boccia.
