00:02Have you ever seen the game of botcha?
00:07Not botchee, botcha.
00:10The easiest way to describe it is like indoor lawn bowls, but it's actually nothing like that.
00:15You have to get as close as possible to the jack, the white ball.
00:21You can throw it over arm or under arm, you can push out balls, draw two balls,
00:27because it depends what you're going for.
00:30It's all about precision, position and communication.
00:34For athletes using a ramp, the operator has their back to the game
00:38and must do exactly as the athlete asks.
00:41She can't look at the game, she can't talk, she can't do anything unless I tell her to do it.
00:47Some of our athletes once said,
00:48it's the only time in my life I ever feel in control is rolling out onto that court.
00:53The love of the sport took Dylan Schwartz from Canberra to Sydney to train.
00:57I'm hoping to compete in the Paralympics one day.
01:04But support and funding is always needed.
01:07It's really challenging for all of the athletes to keep competing.
01:14It's as much about belonging as it is about competing.
01:17A lot of people don't know they can participate in sport, but they can play botcha.
01:20We always say gotcha, botcha.
01:22If you give this sport a time and you watch again, it's got ya.
01:25A whole different ball game for everybody.
01:28Yes!
01:29Good!田苦
