Disability Sport NI - UK Boccia Championships - Volunteer Timer
Disability Sport NI
We are hosting the UK Boccia Championships at Antrim Forum Leisure Centre on Saturday the 6th and Sunday 7th of December 2025. The UK Boccia Championships is an opportunity for the UK top Boccia players to compete across 4 different classifications. It promises to be a brilliant weekend of sport.
We require volunteer timers to support the running of the event. A Boccia timer plays a crucial role in regulating the time limits during a Boccia game. The timer is used to ensure that each player or team has an equal and fair amount of time to make their shots.
Boccia timing is a fairly simple task. We use a timing system controlled by an iPad. No prior experience or knowledge of the sport is necessary and training will be provided.
There are several opportunities to get involved in regular timing at our local Boccia competitions running from September 2025 until May 2026. There will also be an online training opportunity on Wednesday the 3rd of December at 7pm which will allow volunteers to gain training in and a better understanding of the role and timing system. This is not compulsory.
Tasks and responsibilities
* Support the official with the timing of matches via iPad
* Assist the referee by competing the score sheet
* Using the app, assist the referee to add scores to the programme via iPad
