“Boccia isn’t a very well-known sport, but for the participants who do play, it's the highlight of their week. It’s the highlight of my week, as well. In the beginning, the participants don’t really know each other, but two or three weeks in they've built strong [bonds]…I love trying to think of new, innovative and creative ideas to keep them engaged” said Aleisha, our Boccia coach.
