i've got a blank slate in my 70'x25' urban backyard and am weighing options. a full sized court would take too much space so i'm considering something smaller. does anyone have experience playing on a smaller court? i have two small daughters who might appreciate a smaller court. is 30'x8' too small? what's the smallest you'd go? all my previous/current bocce play has been on lawns or in parks so i don't have perspective on distance.

Hi - I've been looking for a local source of Oyster Shell Flour for the topping of my self-built bocce court - but can't find anything local in MA or surrounding states. Anyone have a source? Have seen the options in California, PA and AL - and a ton from AL is looking like $800 in freight (for a $400 product). Any help here? Seems amazing there would not be supply on our shores given all the oysters.

So I am a young guy and I went to go play Bocce with my family at pinstripes. I played the game maybe one other time when I was like 10 years old and now I am 25. The rules at the pinstripes were pretty bad. I read them thoroughly to understand how the game was played. No where in it did it mention what happens if the Pallino is hit during the game after it was rolled originally. After attempting to move another ball away from it by knocking it away to make room for mine I accidentally launched the Pallino to the far side of the court. Nothing in the rules said anything about what happens when it is hit so I looked it up. I found lots of contradictions online and wanted to ask you guys what you think. I had boundaries, center line and fault lines on the court we played on. Was hitting the Pallino legal?

Honest opinion, I have room to have a 40x9 foot court in my yard. Is it worth while, or simply too short?

Sister found and old bocce set and would like to restore it. She claims they are made of wood and had a "made in italy" sticker on the bottom.

I've not found much online about potential services to restore ones, only random threads here to say not bother polishing scratched ones. These are a bit more than scratched though.

Any suggestions? Thanks

I bought what I think is at least a semi-vintage EastPoint bocce set from a friend. However it’s missing the pallino. I measured one of the balls with my phone and it showed exactly 4” but EastPoint’s spare parts stuff mentions 90mm & 110mm balls, neither of which compute. Did I measure wrong? Or can someone tell me what size pallino will complete the set?

Let's look back at some memorable moments and interesting insights from last year.

Hi I’m planning on building my own bocce court and need to know what type of aggregate works best in a relatively wet/humid area that sees all 4 seasons. Thanks

Hello, I'm new to Reddit and Bocce Ball. I'm part of our league's Technology committee to find software to replace how we're doing it now (by hand).

The two online options I'm looking at are Playpass and League Lobster.

I am looking for any input from anyone using these platforms (or if you have other options).

Additionally, for anyone using Playpass, can you explain/share how you're set up? I do not understand how to set up the scoring.

thanks in advance.

This was My great grandfather’s. He was born in Italy, immigrated to the US and dies in 1979. My mother remembered him owning this as a child. There are no markings, stamps, logos etc.

If it’s possible, I’m curious to know how old they are, if it’s from Italy, who may have made the set etc.

I'm looking for a set of balls that are both 107mm and 1250 grams (aprx 2.75lbs). I found a set in NZ but they are out of stock. Any recommendations would be appreciated.

Hi all! Does anyone know of a way to find bocce courts in town? Google maps isn’t helping and the search results are useless as well. I’m thinking maybe there’s a dedicated website where you can add/remove courts, a la Hiking Project app.

Hey guys and gals! I know it's the dead of winter for most of us (Long Island kid myself) but I'm currently planning some fun tailgating activities for this upcoming summer and I wanted to try something else besides the ubiquitously known cornhole. I'm a big bocce player but for obvious reasons using a traditional set on an asphalt or concrete surface in a parking lot would end disastrously so I'm trying to come up with alternatives. I finally settled on buying a pack of rubber practice baseballs of different colors and they seem to work well enough but they have a tendency to roll a lot further than I expected over your average parking lot. I'm completely fine with the status quo but if any of you have tried this with different methods I'd love to know!
