If you haven’t been following the BocciaBucket progress before now, this is all the encouragement you need!
The BocciaBucket Challenge was brought about to raise awareness of the sport of boccia in the lead-up to the BISFed World Championships being held in Liverpool this August. The campaign is a variation on boccia, designed to provide an insight into certain aspects of the game in a fun and inclusive way. Anyone can play boccia, and we want everyone to know it.
Our communication team headed out to Scotstoun this week to watch several members of the Glasgow Warriors Rugby Club having a go. Boccia professional and World No 1 Stephen McGuire was on hand at the scene to give the lads a quick tutorial and some expert advice before they took on the challenge themselves. After an initial period of warming up, they started to get the hang of it and gave Stephen a real game!
You can watch the challenge here:
We would like to thank the Glasgow Warriors for fitting this in to their very busy training schedule to help raise awareness of boccia in Scotland and the forthcoming BISFed World Championships. A special thanks to Ryan Wilson, Adam Ashe, Alex Dunbar and Huw Jones for doing the challenge.
We look forward to seeing if Edinburgh Rugby answer the nomination and are excited to see what they come up with!
If you haven’t uploaded your own video yet or nominated anyone, get involved!
You can follow the campaign through our Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.
