Annual Assembly 2024
Mark your calendars for the 2024 USA Boccia Annual Assembly Meeting for all membership on November 12, 2024. The meeting will take place virtually by ZOOM at a time to be determined and communicated in a future newsletter. This year at the Annual Assembly, we hope to elect at least two new Contributing Members to the Board of Directors. These members are not in designated Athlete Representative positions. Instead, eligible members in this category include individuals who currently volunteer in important supporting roles throughout our organization and sport such as: coaching, former athletes, competition staff, etc. Read about Board qualifications and duties in our USA Boccia Bylaws. The Bylaws are posted on www.usaboccia.org under the Governance tab. Most importantly, if you’re interested, start thinking about either running for the Board yourself or encouraging other members to run!
Ball Buy Back Program
For a while, it has been discussed that many athletes have "old" Boccia balls sitting in their closet and want to get rid of them for a variety of reasons. In USA Boccia's continuing efforts to grow the sport, a Ball Buy Back program is being initiated for USA Boccia's current member players and member clubs.
Equipment Loan Bank Program
USA Boccia has replenished its Ball Loan Bank program. We have also added ramps and pointers to the equipment inventory list. First priority is for SCI and veteran athletes, but all current USA Boccia members are eligible to participate. The loan bank program's purpose is to provide a "bridge" for our athletes from the time they want to start playing Boccia until the time they can acquire their own equipment.
