About Bocce
Bocce, also known as Italian lawn bowling, is one of the most widely played games in the world and is one of the oldest lawn or yard games. Best known in Italy, where you may see a group of retired Northern Italians or Sicilians gathered in a town square for daily games, bocce has been gaining popularity with younger people as well as older people in the United States and other countries.
The United States Team Uniforms are proudly worn by our generous sponsor, Top 87.
