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.

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.

2024 全港長者硬地滾球大賽
圓滿成功
伸手助人協會的全港長者硬地滾球大賽已於10月29日舉行，並再次取得大成功，大賽超過375名參賽者、174支隊伍和80個長者中心及護老院參加。
另外近100名義工和工作人員的協助以確保比賽順利進行。
硬地滾球為長者生活帶來歡樂
經過數月的練習、策劃和與隊友的協調，充滿熱情的老友記來到將軍澳室內體育館，參加這項越來越受長者歡迎的運動。今年的比賽包括許多輪椅參賽者，以及許多80至90多歲的長者。伸手助人協會寶林賽馬會老人之家的99歲院友劉滿榮先生更獲頒發最年長參賽者獎！這項運動的好處是無容置疑的。不但對認知技能、身體活動和社交都非常有益處，當然，硬地滾球也是一項充滿樂趣的體育活動！
伸手助人協會一直致力推廣長者硬地滾球，它是由我們的物理治療師主管Rosa Ma 於2004 年引入院舍。這項運動最初是為腦癱患者設計的，經過稍微調整以更適合長者後，Rosa 便開始將其推廣至其他的長者院舍，結果成就了這非凡的全港長者硬地滾球大賽，更證明了我們的人生不應該被年齡所定義！
恭喜所有年度「全港長者硬地滾球大賽」的獲獎者！我們為每一位參賽者及其成就感到驕傲。完整的獲獎名單可按此查看。
