i'm so happy for them, seeing them having the time of their lifes just brings tear to my eyes

[@ivanrobc]

So happy so see their eyes full of happiness, those are the invisible heroes, those who pass next to us and we don't see them. We may never understand how hard their lives are, bu we must show them respect because they are human just like us, with real troubles, with real feelings

I play Boccia too, I am From Germany and seven teen years old.

[@paralympics]

You should get in touch with your National Paralympic Committee or BisFED which is the international federation for the sport

[@ParrotsOnWheels-Julia]

So cool! I hope to be at that level one day :)

Mijn dochter 39 jaar speelt 15 jaar Boccia en telkens de tornooien men ik ontroerd als je die mannen ziet spelen. De intensiteit en moeite dat zij soms moeten doen om een bal te gooien. En dat het toch zo weinig gekend is. Als men tegen iemand zegt: mijn dochter haar sport is Boccia, 99 % kent die sport niet eens. In Belgïe wordt er veel te weinig gedaan voor de Gsport!!!

A girl from Northern Ireland who went to my school is a Paralympic Boccia player and I want to find her

[@j27steiner]

Congrats to all the athletes. I came across this game being played by able bodied people on tv the other day and found it very interesting. I'm a quadriplegic and in curious how I get into this. Can anyone help me out?

[@sweetpotato9462]

I think there are clubs around the world who train and do friendly competitions. You will then be divided into your group depending on how you play it :)
hope this helped but I'm not really a expert :)

[@unknown4822]

Hi Jon, replying quite a few years later so hope you see this. have a look online at you local clubs and facilities to see if there is anything for you. if not you could spend time researching it to try and form a club. maybe if you have some friends willing they could help you with setting it all up. if you get this and try anything please reply I would love to know how you got on!
