Site Map breadCrumbs("www.ncpad.org",">>","default.htm","breadcrumbs","breadcrumbs","breadcrumbs","0"); Back Home Bocce is a competitive game that can be played one-on-one, in pairs, or in teams of three. It is played on a specially marked court, usually with a hard surface. The object of the game is to throw or bowl game balls so that they land as close as possible to a special target ball. The game begins with a player throwing the white target ball onto the court. Opponents then take turns trying to throw or bowl their game balls as close as possible to the target ball. When all the game balls have been thrown, a referee determines the points awarded to individuals or teams based on a measurement of how close the game balls are to the target ball. Bocce is an official sport of the National Disability Sports Alliance (NDSA), the Dwarf Athletic Association of America (DAAA) and Special Olympics International (SOI). Two modified versions of bocce are commonly played: precision bocce and Special Olympics Bocce. Bocce can be enjoyed by persons of all ages and persons with a wide variety of disabilities. It can be played for recreation, as a competitive sport, or for physical education in school programs. The game requires planning and strategy in trying to place game balls for maximum scoring. It also can develop or increase hand/eye coordination. Finally, bocce is an activity in which individuals with severe disabilities can participate and develop high levels of skill. The game can be easily adapted to allow players with functional limitations to use chutes and ramps to place their game balls into play.

How do websites qualify to be on your 'Links' webpage? The Home Page URL for this site is http://www.BocceStandardsAssociation.org BSA Webmaster Revised: March 01, 2004 The only fact for sure is that bocce is a game that is centuries old. Several descriptions with similarities can be found on the Internet. One version of the history of bocce published by the Wonderful World of Bocce Association on their website is as follows: "The beginnings of the game of bocce are lost in the darkness of time. Traces of the game can be found among the early Egyptians, and graphic representations of figures tossing a ball or polished stone have been recorded as early as 5200 B.C. While modern day bocce bears little resemblance to these early findings, one thing is certain: that through its evolution the objective has been constant - try to come as close to a fixed target as possible. From this early objective, the basic rules of bocce were born. Bocce must have been part of the therapeutic advice given by the early Greek physicians Ipocrates and Galileo who indeed believed that the invigorating exercise provided by this game could have beneficial results. It is said that the early Romans were among the first to play the game, at times using coconuts brought back from Africa. Later on, hard olive wood was used to carve out bocce balls. Quickly gaining status, there are indications that bocce was enjoyed by such luminaries as the emperor Augustus.
