60 FOUR SEASONS BREEZE | MARCH 2017
Many came to play when the sun was out in February. The Summit
has great views, as shown above. Play is always fun. All are welcome
to join in.
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 player's turn. Often cheers,
or laughter accompany our play. 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 we 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) 846-3122 or
