BOCCIA LEAGUE 2009
Dear All
Please find attached information and entry from on a new London wide Inter School Boccia league that SLDSP have gained money from ‘Help a London Child’s’ - Free Sport For All programme and Disability Sports Events DSE, to run throughout 2009.
This league is going to be run on a round robin basis with teams, based around each of the 5 pro-active partnerships from January to May 2009, with a final for the top team from each pool in June/July 2009.
It will be run on a very simple basis where each team will be given x2 (x3 max) fixtures to be carried out each 1/2 term, one home and one away, at their own convenience. A fixtures table and all contact details will be sent after the closing date, with the league's fixtures table.
Also attached is the layout of a boccia court. The minimum requirements for participation are a marked out clear area of 10m long x 6m wide, a short badminton court. If you can mark the triangle on playing area and seating areas then that’s great but if not then no problem, you just need the outside area marked by lines, cones or tape.
• The competition is specifically aimed at those competitors with more severe impairments and must only involve players with severe learning disabilities or physical impairments or profound and multiple impairments
• This format and rules structure mirrors those used for the London Youth Games Boccia, as many of the players will be considered for borough teams in LYG 09.
If you would like to enter this league please return the attached entry form before the CLOSING DATE 12th DECEMBER 2008. League fixtures and contact details will then be sent out over the Christmas holiday, to be ready for you when you return to school in the new year.
If you would like any further information please drop me a line.
Thanks
