Bocce Ball was another huge success last year and we crowned our second Festa Italiana Bocce Ball Champion…this year is going to be even better – who’s next to get their name on our coveted perpetual trophy? Sign up here!

Space is limited to the first 32 people who register for the tournament. Once filled, we will then create the next waiting list of 8 people in case any substitutions are needed. Play begins at 12:45 sharp - be there early please for the introduction and to go over the rules. Bocce Ball is an Italian lawn bowling game where the object is to roll a brightly colored ball closest to a smaller white ball called a Pallino. The rolled ball is measured to record how close it is to the Pallino. Closest ball wins the game.

We will have two very nice synthetic grass courts measuring 10’W x 36”L. The tournament will be over around 4:30ish. Then, both of these courts will be available for open play for all guests.

Our tournament will be a single elimination tournament. Contestants must be at least 16 years of age. Each match will consist of up to five games with each player rolling two balls per game. Closest ball to the Pallino wins the game. First person to win three games is the match winner. The winner of the match advances to the next tournament round.

There is no charge to enter. However, you must be on time (which means early for your scheduled time) or we will have to use a substitute. If you win your match, we will inform you of the time to return for your next match. If you lose, you are out. 

Champion and runner up will receive trophies and prizes.

I will be in contact regularly with those who register and look forward to seeing you there – it will be another cool event and a grand spectator sport – the bleachers will be filled! Start practicing…:).
