HS Bocce Club

 We are a Bocce Club in Heritage Solaire Roseville with the goal of playing and teaching Bocce in our community and having Fun.

A Brief History of the Game

Bocce Ball has been evolving for thousands of years. The basics of the game can be traced back to games that were played in Egypt around 5000 BC when people first began settling along the Nile Delta. Records dating to the 3rd century BC also show the popularity of a Bocce-like game with Roman soldiers. As the Roman Empire spread, this game was introduced throughout the European continent, Asia and North Africa.

Bocce Ball is one of the oldest of all lawn or yard games. Best known in Italy, it has gained popularity in North America since it can be played by people of all ages and on a great variety of surfaces. Bocce is played between two players or two teams of up to four players on a team.

The Objective of Bocce

The object of Bocce is to get as many of your bocce (bigger, weighted balls) as close to the pallino (smaller target ball) as possible. If you are successful in getting your bocce closer to the pallino than your opponent, you are awarded points.
