In this interview highlight, recorded at the Adelaide Independent Living Expo, the team chat with Deb from Boccia Australia about the fast‑growing, inclusive sport of Boccia. Deb explains how boccia differs from bocce, how the sport can be played by people of all abilities, and why it is just as strategic and competitive as it is social.
We hear about boccia in South Australia, local club opportunities, and how players with very limited movement can compete at an elite level using ramps and assistants. Deb also shares insights into Australia’s success on the international stage, including Paralympic and World Series competitions, and why the boccia community is such a welcoming and supportive place to get involved.
This conversation was recorded during Vision Australia Radio’s live broadcast from the Adelaide Independent Living Expo, celebrating inclusive sport, community connection, and opportunities for everyone to participate.
