Bocce/Petanque

EMAIL SUBJECT: Bocce

The Bocce Group is inviting new participants. Bocce is a fun outdoor sport that provides exercise and fellowship with no physical strain whatsoever. If you can swing one arm and can absorb a simple introduction to the sport, you have everything you need.

In Pétanque the objective is to score points placing boules closer to the target than the opponent after all boules have been thrown. This is achieved by a player throwing or rolling boules closer to the small target ball, officially called a jack (fr: cochonnet), or by hitting the opponents' boules away from the target while the player is standing inside a circle with both feet on the ground.
