🏆 2026 BSA State Titles Results 🏆
What another successful BSA State Titles weekend!
This year's event marked several significant milestones, not only for Boccia South Australia but potentially for Australia and even the world.
BSA welcomed the highest number of athletes ever to compete at a BSA competition, and it was fantastic to see so many athletes and assistants travel from interstate to be part of the competition. This was also the first year that the Boccia Competition Management System (BCMS) was used in South Australia.
Held at our new high-performance venue, the South Australian Sports Institute (SASI), this was one of the most professional competitions BSA has delivered, bringing us closer to the standards seen at Boccia Australia National Titles and other major state competition. The competition also featured Australia's first projected boccia court and was the first ever competition in Australia that has had their state’s Minister for Sport attend.
Congratulations to all athletes who competed. Here are the final results from the weekend:
