DC's Best Bocce League

Overview

DC bocce leagues are a friendly atmosphere where you can meet new people and have fun at the same time! Bocce is an Italian lawn game, where the objective is to throw your team's weighted balls closest to the pallino (or jack). Bocce is a fun way to relax and meet new people. When you play with us, we’ll take care of everything! You just need to sign up, show up, and play.

Bocce leagues

Volo sports leagues operate a lot like the sports leagues of your youth. Most of our leagues are 5 to 8 weeks and culminate in a series of playoff games to crown a champion! A team t-shirt is always included with registration and you will receive it at your first game. Volo provides referees, equipment, prizes, and specially trained staff members for your game. After your games each week, you and your team will head over to one of our sponsor bars for some post-game fun! Volo hosts the best post-game social parties and you will have access to Volo exclusive food and drink specials. By participating in leagues, you will also enjoy special invitations to Volo events, often including an end of season party. We strive to keep the games fair, safe, and stress free so that all you need to do is show up, play, socialize, and have a great time!

Styles of Play

Open Grass Play
Open Grass Play is played in wide open fields with “courts” set up by cones. No ball is really out of play because there are no barriers to hit. However, if the pallino is thrown out of bounds, it will require a rethrow.
