Referee Training Program
Through the Referee Training Program, Boccia Canada provides Provincial and National Referees with the in-depth understanding of boccia needed to perform their role.
The Boccia Referee Course is 1.5 days long. To successfully complete the course, participants must achieve 75% on a written exam and, after the course, score a minimum of 3 out of 5 on each criteria of an on-court assessment during a boccia competition.
