It’s Paralympic Season and Freedom Solutions showcases a World Boccia standard Boccia ramp!
As the Paris 2024 Paralympics gets into full swing, we are excited to showcase our most popular equipment, designed specifically for players of paralympic sport, Boccia.
Australians are fast becoming a leader in the sport as we send our congratulations to Australia’s Paralympians, Daniel Michel and Jamieson Leeson who both won individual silver medals in Boccia at Paris Paralympic Games this week.
Boccia is one of the world’s fastest growing and most inclusive sports at the Paralympic level. For Boccia all players are required to be seated when releasing the ball, and most play from a wheelchair. Players can throw, kick or use a ramp to get the ball closest to the jack (white ball).
The remarkable and clever team at Freedom Solutions, led by retired electrical engineer and volunteer Mike Muir have designed and developed an Australian-made Boccia ramp to offer all players of the game greater independence and capability.
The Freedom Solutions Boccia ramp has a custom-ball mount that is chin operated and is fully compliant with World Boccia rules for Assistive Devices and the only Boccia ramp in Australia endorsed by Boccia Australia.

Would you like to know more about Boccia?
Boccia is a Paralympic sport that is similar to lawn bowls or bocce ball. It is a precision sport that is played by athletes with a physical disability, such as cerebral palsy or spinal cord injuries.
The game is played on a flat, rectangular court that is marked with a series of lines and squares. Players throw, roll, or kick a ball, called a “boccia,” towards a target ball, called the “jack,” which is placed at the other end of the court. The objective is to get as many of your balls as close to the target ball as possible.
Boccia is a sport that requires a high level of skill, strategy, and concentration. Players must carefully plan their shots and consider factors such as the trajectory and speed of their balls, as well as the position of their opponent’s balls.
The sport is played in individual, pairs, and team events. In individual events, players compete against one another in a head-to-head format. In pairs and team events, players work together to achieve the best overall score.
Boccia is a popular sport that is played by athletes all over the world. It is an inclusive sport that is open to athletes of all ability levels, and it is a great way for people with disabilities to participate in a competitive and enjoyable physical activity
