Bocce Club
5 Mintues to Learn -- A Lifetime of Fun
What is Bocce? The Italian version of lawn bowling. The earliest
known form was a game played in the Italian Alps, early in the Christian Era, using stones, not to
hit a target, but to land as close as possible to the target. The Romans spread the game
throughout the empire and substituted balls for stones. Italian immigrants brought Bocce to
the US, primarily to New York City and San Francisco. The sport appeared to be in danger of
extinction until a resurgence began in California during the 1970s. Today it is estimated at
one-million people are playing Bocce in the US.
 The Bocce facility has four brand new courts and they are terrific.
For fun, friendship, and moderate exercise, this is the place.
Everyone can become knowledgeable and begin play immediately.
Bocce members meet Monday through Saturday weekly between 8:00 am and
10:00 am. Members are also encouraged to play between 1:00 pm and 3:00 pm on Tuesday,
Wednesday and Thursday as well. Courts and equipment are available for play by anybody when
the courts are not previously scheduled.
The courts are located adjacent to the Veterans' Memorial Plaze, behind the Social Center and
the Village Store.
The membership dues are only $12.00 per person for the entire year. The dues will be only
$6.00 if you join the club after July 1. Payments should be made to our club Secretary or any
other club Board Member.
We invite one and all to come have a look and take a hand at it.
You will be hooked.
