Entries for all qualifying events will open by December 2025. It is anticipated that players in all classifications will be able to enter up to three events. Full Boccia England membership will be required for entry to the National Championships events.
As a result of the review, the Heathcoat Cup will change significantly and will no longer be a competitive event. Therefore, all athletes wishing to compete individually in any classification will need to enter the National Championship qualifying events.
Full details on entry and qualification will be shared shortly. For queries in the meantime, please contact: competition@bocciaengland.org.uk
