Bocce Ball Sets

Get in on the game

Bocce ball is one of the fastest growing recreational activities in the United States. More and more people are discovering this unique pastime and sporting goods stores all over the country have begun selling bocce ball sets to meet the demand. But how do you know which bocce ball sets are most suitable for you? 

Getting started

Before buying bocce ball sets, there are some questions you might want to ask to help you choose the right set: 

Who will be playing with these bocce ball sets? Children? Adults? Both? 

Where and on what kind of surface will you be playing?

What is your budget for bocce ball sets?

Will you be playing recreationally, or do you want more professional-grade bocce ball sets?

Smaller size for little hands

To accommodate players of all ages, bocce ball sets are available with balls of different sizes and weights. If you know that young children will be the primary users, you may want to buy bocce ball sets with smaller, lighter balls. 80mm bocce balls are ideal for ages three to seven. Older children will probably feel comfortable throwing larger 90mm or 100mm bocce balls. 

You can also buy bocce ball sets for kids that have balls filled with water. The plastic balls are lightweight and easy to throw. Add water to make the balls just the right weight for your kids. 

Family fun anywhere

If your whole family will be playing in the backyard or during weekend vacations, lighter bocce ball sets make it easier to throw balls on any terrain. 100mm or 107mm are good "go anywhere" bocce ball sets. They are perfect for a game of bocce in the park, at the beach, or in your own backyard. 

Professional bocce ball sets

If you're a serious bocce player, you'll want to buy bocce ball sets that are endorsed for tournament play by the International Bocce Association. The most popular bocce ball sets for serious court bocce players are the 110mm weights. 107mm and 114mm sets are acceptable for players who prefer slightly lighter or heavier sets. The larger size and heavier weights of professional bocce ball sets make them ideal for use on regulation court bocce surfaces.

Bocce on a budget

It is important to keep in mind that you don't need to spend a lot of money to enjoy bocce! Economically priced bocce ball sets are readily available for children, beginners, and occasional players.

Take bocce ball sets to your next outdoor party and get your friends and family involved! Whether you're a weekend enthusiast or a full-fledged tournament player, you can find bocce ball sets that are perfect for you.
