What is Bocce?

There are plenty of videos about rules, but this short 1 minute clip sums it up.

Who Are We?

Located in Gresham, Oregon members of Club Paesano have been playing bocce at Cedarville Park since 1976. Under the shade of tall fir trees two initial courts were built with four more added by 2006. With courts came tournaments and with tournaments came leagues. Click to read more about Paesano Bocce Club’s history.

Here are a few pictures from the winning teams and a link to video of the championship game. What an amazing finish to the championship game. In the last two frames, Glen Cummingham lagging for the win for “Never To Late” and selling the point. (I know he would love to have that one back,) Tough break for Glen. Then Chance Rossi’s championship pressure lag to grab the point. And then I Santi Santi e Bennie’s Larry Cereghino’s shot to open up the frame and finally Nick Rossi’s amazing 80 ft raffa to win the game! What an exciting game! Two heavy weights battling to the end, I apologize for the video. I need to get a stand for my camera!
