Bocce Ball

When in Rome

The newest sport to join the UC's roster is one that was played by the ancient Romans - Bocce!

With two regulation-size bocce courts located next to the tranquil Creekside Pavilion, members enjoy social or league play during the day or evening. The UC supplies all the equipment needed to play this simple and fun sport. Bocce can be played by members of all ages, making it one of the most widely played games at the UC and in the world.
