H9: Bocce: Orientation

Bocce Ball is a relaxed but strategic game with an ancient lineage. Although probably emerging from ancient Egypt, bocce started to hit its stride with the Romans and Emperor Augustus. It gained massive popularity in the US with the influx of Italian immigrants at the turn of the 20th century. Today, bocce is a calming, competitive way to spend a few hours outdoors in the pleasant company of friends. The terminology is simple and basic skills are easy to produce. Meet other members, stretch muscles, check balance, improve hand-eye coordination and experience the joy of rolling for points, banking shots, spocking, shooting and bombing. Registrations are limited to 24 participants and will be on a first come, first served basis. There will be a waitlist started when necessary.
