Bocce Ball is played at The Summit at 9 am Tuesdays and 3 pm both Wednesdays and Fridays. Everyone is welcome. Play is on our beautiful tournament grade smooth accurate courts and sideboards. Smooth, small, step-in concrete surrounds courts. The word "bocce" comes from the Italian word which is plural and means "to bowl." The small white ball, the pallino, is thrown first to start game. Rules are very simple. Get your ball as close to the pallino as possible in order to score a point. If more balls of same color get close, these additionally score points. Much like pool, bocce requires players to take turns. This makes it an ideal game for socializing in-between turns. Often cheers or laughter can be heard. No one has an edge in bocce ball unless of course they have played for years. We generally play games to 12 points. Two games are played and take approximately one and a half hours. First court winners stay and are challenged on the second game by winners from the second court. We mix and match so no team is expert and we change numbers on the team so no one is left out. The game of Bocce Ball requires no specific skills or previous experience. You will get a little exercise and enjoy a beautiful view and breezes at The Summit all while having a great time with a great group of people. If you are interested in learning the game, please join us at The Summit. Questions?
