The Arizona boys toast putting the finishing touches on 6 courts in time for their grand opening tournament on January 19 - 21, 2007. Looks like they have separate scoreboards for each team. Visit their web site at boccearizona.com by clicking the photo above.

Bocce Arizona, LLC is a newly formed sports organization which currently has 6 professional Bocce Ball courts located at St. James Catholic Church in Glendale, AZ (ideally located on 35th Ave just south of the 101 fwy). Four additional courts are to be constructed by October, 2007.

"The purpose of hosting Bocce Ball tournaments is to publicize this great sport while working to one day host the National and World Championships in Glendale, ultimately having Bocce Ball sanctioned as an Olympic Sport."

Ah, these last two photos remind us of our dream of maintenance free courts.
