Bocce is an Italian game. The basic principle of the sport is to roll a bocce ball closest to the target ball, which is called a palina. Bocce as a Special Olympics sport provides people with special needs the opportunity to have social contact, develop physically, and gain self-confidence. Next to soccer and golf, bocce is the third most popular sport in the world. Initial online certification training is not available in this sport. For more information, please get in touch with the Sports Manager for your area.
