June 6, with our new court Bocce Ball courts almost complete, the Bocce Ball Club invited everyone to come. Bocce ball was played on open grass, followed by Yum Yum donuts, coffee, music, photo shoot and social half hour. We hope to see all return to play and all are welcome; especially now on improved courts. Call and check for times. The word "bocce" comes from an Italian word which is plural and means "to bowl." The small white ball, called pallino, is thrown first to start the 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 the same color as the closest ball also 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 a game to 12 points. Two games are typically 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. Times change based on weather. 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, 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) 846-3123, Jeanine Baker (951) 797-0833. ~ Mike Saperstein Marian Mark throws green ball high while, Phil Reiswig watches on open grass.
