The Boccia Paralympic sport has been developing in Karaganda for the third year. It is available to children and adults with the most severe forms of cerebral palsy and disorders of the musculoskeletal system. And now a special playground has been equipped for classes on the territory of the K. Nurzhanov athletics arena. Special athletes will be able to train here and prepare for competitions.

Today, 30 Karaganda residents are professionally addicted to the boccia game. Among them there are very young ones, and the most adult athlete is 34 years old.
- Boccia gives special children the opportunity to develop. We have achieved good results in three years. Recently, 5 child athletes were taken to competitions in Pavlodar. All won medals of different denominations. As a result, the team took the first place. Now we are preparing for the Kazakhstan Cup. By the way, for the first time an athlete from our region will represent the republic at international competitions in Greece, - said the head of the Boccia Federation, co-founder of the Foundation “Braveheart” Gauhar Akizhanova.
Nine-year-old Sasha Lyakh has been doing boccia since the opening of the section. The last sporting achievement was gold at the competitions in Pavlodar.
- Thanks to the boccia classes, my son's hands began to work well. Also, the game has a positive effect on thinking. We have already been to competitions in Astana three times, Sasha was the first everywhere. It's good that a new platform has appeared. It's much better for children to play outdoors than indoors," says Sasha's mother Tatiana Lyakh.
Ermaganbet Bulekpayev wished the special athletes new victories.
