BOCCE BALL

Bocce Ball, an old game with many stories about who, when and where it originated. All we can add to the discussion is that it is a great game to be enjoyed by everyone regardless of age or athletic ability.

We play a schedule where each team will play the others twice. When we get to that point there is a champion team . We will field 12 teams. Basically there are 6 men assigned to each team and 4 men from each team play in a game and we alternate so everyone gets to play. It is set up that way so if some one cannot make it to the park for some reason we have a complete team ready to compete.

We always welcome new players. The game is easy to learn and not that difficult to play so physical problems should not be troublesome. Our players range in age from 55 to 94 and there have been players who needed crutches, canes or walkers. We even had a fellow who was almost blind playing and he was a good player.

Hope to see all the previous players back and a bunch of new faces for the upcoming season.
