GET ACTIVE

Scottish Disability Sport (SDS) is the Scottish governing and co-coordinating body of all sports for people of all ages and abilities with a physical, sensory or learning disability.

Our major partners are sportscotland, Scotland’s Governing Bodies of Sport (SGBs) and Local Authorities plus voluntary organisations concerned with disability.

There are many opportunities to get active and try a sport in Scotland. SDS acts as the SGB for the sport, boccia. If you would like to find out more about boccia and get involved, all the information you need can be found here.
