In June, US Bocce Federation and Methuen Sons of Italy volunteers enthusiastically hosted the 2026 National Championship north of Boston, MA at the East Coast’s internationally sanctioned facility. The winners of the Precision Shooting Tournaments for both Singles Women and Men directly earned a spot on the USA National Team to compete in the 2026 World Championship in Rio Grande do Sol, Brazil in October. Congratulations to Ava Della Croce and Andy Zimmerman for winning Precision Shooting gold medals. The winners of the Punto Raffa Volo (PRV) doubles events for Women, Men and Mixed will proudly represent the USA in North American playoff matches in Canada this summer.
