Traces have also been found dating back to the time of the Pharaohs. In fact, a game similar to bocce was played in ancient Greece. In ancient Rome, the Romans were the first to play this game in competition Emperor Augustus was said to be a big fan of the game. It was then developed in its present form in Ita- ly, France and many of the European Mediterranean countries. As European countries colonised new found lands, they brought with them local customs and games such as Bocce. It was the European migrants that introduced bocce to Australia. It then became popular with their descendants and the wider Australian community. It should be noted that outside Australia, bocce has gained a huge following in plac- es like America, Europe, South America, Africa and more recently with the expansion of the sport into Asia, with China, Japan, India, Hong Kong, Chinese Taipei and Nepal being big on the game. The Games of Bocce Learn the different styles of the sport, including the Traditional Game, or the Other Bocce Games which are really tests of the players abilities. 1) The Traditional Game—Singles and Doubles; 2) Single Progressive Throw, Rapid Relay including the new excit- ing Mixed Rapid Relay; 3) Precision Throw and 4) Bowl Throw The Equipment - The bowls are made of a brass composition. Unlike the bowls used in lawn bowls, bocce bowls do not have a built-in bias, and they are hollow inside. The bowls used in competition weigh about one kilo- gram and are approximately 10 centimetres in diameter. Bocce courts have a surface of levelled sand. They are 27.5 metres long and can vary from 3 to 4 metres wide. The Shots There are three types of shots. All bowls are delivered from the Foot Line. The Throw. The bowl is thrown underarm into the air after a run-up, the objective being to displace either the jack or another bowl. Raised Bowl. The bowl is delivered underarm through the air to end up as near as possible to the Jack. Bowled Delivery. The bowl is deliv- ered underarm to run along the ground and end up as near to the jack as possible. Single Progressive Throw, Double Rapid Relay and the Mixed Rapid Relay These events are all about running, stamina, strength, concentration and precision throwing, to hit the target bowl in a high octane 5 minute running blitz. Single Progressive Throw is for one player, Rapid Relay is two players (two men or two women) and the Mixed Rapid Relay is a team (one man & one woman). All these running events have 5 minutes to run the length of the court throw- ing at the station- ary target white ball as shown in the diagram above. In team of two each player throwing 4 balls in turn, while in the Single Progres- sive it is the one player throwing at the targets for the full 5 minutes. The winning team is the team that scores the most hits in the 5 minutes. The current World Mixed Rapid Relay record is 54 hits from 58 throws held by French duo of Barbara Barthet & A.Chirat. ff © Bocce Australia It is with great pleasure that Bocce Australia, welcome bocce teams from all corners of Australia, plus for the first time, individual clubs It is this strong commitment to the Sport of Bocce, that we have all gathered here to participate in this Championship. Actions speak volumes, and this is the case when we see so many dedicated men and wom- en bocce sport athletes keen and ready to compete at the elite level. Congratulations to all, you should be proud of the hard work and dedication it took to qualify for this event. It will be a time to enjoy the thrill, the challenge and the sense of belonging, that comes from participating and competing in sport. This fantastic event would not be possible without the commitment and support of so many volunteers especially from the South Australian Bocce Federation, Mirella Mancini and her dedicated team of volun- teers and those that have travelled from across the country, we thank you for giving your time to make this event great and embracing. To our sponsorship partners and supporters, without your financial support, effort and energy, this major event could not take place. In particular thanks must go to our premier partners the Australian Sports Com- mission—Sport Australia, and the two host clubs - Fogolar Furlan Club and Sicilia Social & Sports Club , who have helped in every way to bring this event to reality – a big thank you. To all the competitors, on behalf of Bocce Australia and my Executive Board, we wish you every success and the best of luck and a wonderful time at these championships. Frank Funari President Bocce Australia Rita Palumbo President, Sicilia Social & Sports Club Inc. A message from the President of the FOGOLAR FURLAN CLUB Bocce have been played here on this spot for about 70 years. Well before the Fogolar Furlan was established in 1958, Italian migrants would gather at the Zuliani house, (which once stood on this site), to play the game which linked them to their homeland and to each other. The courts we now use are a far cry from the simple open air pitches that were once the centerpiece of migrants’ Sunday afternoons … And the game itself has developed from an excuse for a chat and an hour or two of reminiscence and relaxation to an internation- ally recognized sport played around the globe.

Dynamic duo do Australia proud in Argentina ! by Kate Withers @katejwithers (Latrobe Valley EXPRESS) Morwell mother-son duo Diane and Nick Penney may not have returned from the World Raffa Championships in Argentina with any silverware, but they did Australia proud. The doubles pair made it through to the top 16 against some of the best countries the world and not only matched it with them but won. Despite contracting a nasty bug, they handed defeat to power nations Hungary, Switzerland and France and some of those teams included fully-fledged professionals. "Beating Switzerland was pretty big. They're high up," Nick said. "I don't think our skills were any worse than a lot of them, it was just decision-making and train- ing. "So it was good to beat them and France and Hungary ... and against France it was just good to win the way we won." Time had run out against France and Nick and Diane found themselves three down before mounting a remarkable comeback which South American commentators described in a live stream as "impossible". "We were down 7-10 and had two balls ... we had one point, then got two and shot another ball and got four on the last end," Nick said.

  • Petanque – Basics
    PETANQUE – BASICS The Game: Pétanque is a game where the goal is to throw metal balls (boules) as close as possible to a small wooden ball (jack or “cochonnet.”) While throwing a boule, a player must keep his/her two feet on the ground and within a starting circle drawn on the ground. The game is normally played on hard dirt or gravel. Teams: Triples: 3 players against 3 players (two boules per player) or Doubles: 2 players against 2 players (three boules per player) or Singles: 1 player against 1 player (three boules per player) Order of Play: A. A coin is tossed to decide which team goes first. B. Once the starting team is known: 1. A player of the starting team draws a circle on the ground with a diameter of 35-50 cm (14-20 in.) 2. A player of the starting team throws the jack 6-10 m (20-33 ft.) away. The jack must also land at least 1m (3 ft.) away from any boundary of the play area. 3. A player of the starting team throws the first boule. (The players in B.1., B.2. or B.3. may or may not be the same player, but they must be from the starting team.) C. Then, a player from the opposing team throws a boule. If that player’s boule did not land closest to the jack, his/her team keeps throwing boules until one is closer to the jack than the best-placed boule of the opposing team. D. As soon as a team gets a boule closest to the jack, it is the opposing team’s turn to play.
