60 FOUR SEASONS BREEZE | FEBRUARY 2017
Many joined in the fun, food, refreshments with friends, spouses
and all had a great time following play the Wednesday before
Christmas. The Summit had beautiful holiday decorations.
Rules are very simple, throw underhand, stand behind or on
throwing line, get your ball as close to the pallino as possible in order
to score a point.
Much like pool, bocce requires players to take turns. This makes
it an ideal game for socializing in between a players turns. Often
cheers, or laughter. No one has an edge in Bocce Ball unless of course
they have played for years.
We generally play a game to 12 points. Two games are generally
played and take approximately 1-1/2 hours. We mix and match so no
team is expert and change numbers on a team so no one is left out.
Bocce Ball is played several times a week at the Summit. Current
schedule is 9 am Tuesdays and 3 pm Wednesdays.
Many groups play at different times. Call Summit desk (951) 769-
6444 and ask attendant for current times of play. Balls are always
available for play anytime.
There is a third set of balls now available slightly smaller and four
colors of two each. Great for kids and families. Adaptive to three
teams or four teams of two balls each.
If you would like to come early, to meet others and learn game, or
practice before scheduled times, or a different day or time call Mike
Saperstein 951-769-7909, Larry Anderson (951) 845-8003 or Jeanine
Baker (951) 797-0833. ~ Mike Saperstein
