What is Bocce?
Bocce is Italian lawn bowling. Very easy to learn and a lot of fun! Come and join us in this exciting sport and make a lot of friends!
When and Where? (Spring 2012)
Spring bocce practices will begin on Tuesdays starting March 13, 2012 to May 8, 2012 at the home of Cece and Larry Turner, 1445 Millhaven Drive, Auburn, Georgia.
Practices will include traditional bocce as well as Golden Games bocce rules.

Competition?
Currently there is no Boccefest planned for the spring season. Brios Restaurant and La Societa Italiana does have a bocce tournament usually in April / May but that date/time is not confirmed. So there may not be a spring tournament this year. However, if you want to learn or sharpen your game, this is the best time to do it!
