Welcome
Welcome to the website of the Great Britain Boccia Federation (GBBF)
Boccia is a Paralympic sport for athletes with severe disabilities affecting motor skills. Boccia is a target ball sport belonging to the same family as petanque and bowls.
The GBBF was formed in 2007 with the aim of bringing together the home country agencies responsible for the delivery of elite level Boccia in Great Britain; CP Sport England and Wales, Scottish Disability Sport and Disability Sport Wales.
The GBBF's primary role is the selection and development of the GB Boccia squad. The GBBF is responsible for sending a GB team to European Championships, World Championships and World Cups to qualify teams and pairs to represent Great Britain at the Paralympic Games.
Great Britain won Paralympic Gold in Beijing and are ranked number one in the world in the BC1/BC2 team event, while Nigel Murray won individual Paralympic Silver in the BC2 class. The team hopes to build on this success in London 2012.
