A Boccia group is starting in September 2026 meeting in the small hall, St Bryce Centre on the first Wednesday of the month at 2.00 pm.

The first meeting will be on 2nd September. We had a taster session earlier in the summer which was very successful.  The game is good fun but can also be very competitive!  There are a number of people who have put their names forward for the group but if you are interested in joining please let Marion Lackie know via the email address torbain@gmail.com   The hall has room for 3 teams of 4.   


Boccia (pronounced bot-cha) is an indoor target ball sport similar to bowls or boules and is played in pairs.

How the Game Works

  • The Object: Players try to throw or roll leather balls as close as possible to a white target ball called the jack. 
  • The Play: Competitors use red or blue balls, taking turns to get closer to the jack than their opponent. Points are counted at the end of each round based on who is closest. 
  • The Setting: It is played indoors and all players remain seated.
