Get ready to roll! Bocce is back at BSMCC! That’s a big deal. Bocce started in October to kick off the 2025-2026 season. Come and join us. All you need is a desire to have fun, meet new friends, and a folding chair. Bocce is a crazy social, and super friendly game for anyone. You will never be intimidated because we are a very relaxed group of players.
Fun facts to remember about bocce is that it’s the third most popular sport in the world, after soccer and golf. Bocce, in its current form, was played as early as 264 B.C. in Rome. No one really knows how old bocce is, but stone balls dating back to 9000 B.C. have been found in Turkey. Twenty-five million people in the U.S. alone play bocce. Notable bocce players have included the Roman Emperor Augustus, the ancient Greek physician Hippocrates, and the astronomer Galileo. George Washington built a bocce court at Mount Vernon in 1780.
Consider joining the BSMCC Bocce Group. You do not have to be a member of BSMCC to play. It is a great opportunity to meet new folks, and make new friends that will have your back, and ensure you come to love the game of bocce.
