Ahem! While more a past time than sport bocce provides players of all ages and types competition and the comraderie of team play. Serious players have organized leagues to play in, as well as a "pro circuit" where top purses can be as much as $10,000 to the winning team. At backyards or picnics bocce provides an opportunity for grandfathers to bond with granddaughters and cousins the chance to revive past memories. I actually had a player --one of the best ones-- on a team of mine that won a club championship who at 95 was more than 50 years older than the next oldest player!
The perfect summer game?
