PROJECT STATUS (AUGUST 2019)

Special

thanks to local artist David M Wahl for his rendering of “Bocce in the Park”. * The Frederick City Historic Preservation Commission has unanimously approved required modifications to the Bocce court design

.

* Frederick Bocce has produced the site plan and has completed fundraising activities to cover the cost of all phase one construction materials (~ $77,000). * The City of Frederick will provide labor, infrastructure and access paths. IT IS ANTICIPATED THAT CONSTRUCTION WILL BEGIN FALL

DID YOU KNOW?

* Bocce is the 3rd most popular sport in the world, ranking just behind soccer and golf. * Bocce is being considered for the Olympics. See “Boules Sport

2024 “.

* The local DC Bocce League which began in 2004 has over 5,000 members. * Special Olympics Unified Sports®

"Bocce, sometimes anglicized as bocci, is a ball sport belonging to the boules family, closely related to British bowls and French pétanque, with a common ancestry from ancient games played in the Roman Empire. Developed into its present form in Italy (where it is called bocce, the plural of the Italian word boccia which means 'bowl' in the sport sense), it is played around Europe and also in overseas areas that have received Italian migrants, including Australia, North America, and South America (where it is known as bochas, or bolas criollas ('Criollo balls') in Venezuela, bocha in Brazil). Bocce was initially played among the Italian migrants but has slowly become more popular with their descendants and the wider community." From Wikipedia , the

free encyclopedia.

BOCCE RULES

photo

by Brecken Pool via flickr (CC

)

There are "tournament rules" and there are "backyard rules". We play by what are called “open rules”. Basically, the smaller jack ball is thrown and then each team takes turns trying to roll their balls closest to it. Check out the video "How to Play Bocce " by Major League Bocce for a simple, entertaining explanation of the rules. One of the reasons that we love the game is that Bocce can be played by all age groups and is wheelchair friendly – making it a sport that is open to just about everyone!
