The bad news is that holding our annual Fourth of July bocce tournament this year does not seem like a good idea. Convening 32 contestants plus spectators to share food and bocce still seems too risky. We will, however, hope to hold the fall tournament – depending of course on the situation then. If so, that tournament will be on Saturday, September 5, 2020. Should be fine by then, right?

 

The good news is the bocce court is in excellent shape, and is an excellent way to get (some) exercise and have fun in a safe environment. Canopies are up, and the court is rolling nicely.

 

A small number of people can easily play bocce safely. Masks are recommended and please keep chairs six feet apart. There is a spray bottle of disinfectant in the ball cabinet, should you feel more comfortable sanitizing your balls before you play with them. When clearing balls to the end for the next giro, only touch your team’s balls with your hands. It’s OK to kick your opponents’ balls – but don’t touch your face with your shoes.

 

Hope to see you in September

 

Roll on
