We closed out the regular season with a celebration of food, drink and bocce. Attendance was estimated at over 125 people. Several people came to find out about joining the league next year. From the full recycling bins at the end of the day, we have declared this inaugural event a success! With a little better promotion next year, we expect to double the fun. Thanks to all the volunteers who helped put on the event. We’d also like to recognize the folks at PG&E for their generous donation of $1,500 to the league to fund much of the cost of the event.

The regular season has come to a close. The standings have been calculated. And, the playoffs are ready to begin.

The Playoff schedule is now online, complete with which teams are playing and when. Check back regularly as playoffs matches complete and we fill out the bracket. And join us on the courts on Sept. 16 to watch the exciting conclusion to this year's season, as we crown our championship team.

If your team is in the playoffs, remember that you may be playing on a different night than you normally do.

Attention All Rollers,

The Benicia Bocce League will be hosting our first ever League Celebration at the bocce courts on Saturday September 8th from 4:00 pm - dark. Please note the new date!! (with our apology). The event is open to league and non-league members alike. Bring your family and friends. Meet players from the other divisions. Learn new bocce skills.
 
Food, treats, beverages, music all compliments of the league.
Bocce clinics for beginners and novices.
Dine, drink, mingle, play bocce on a Benicia summer eve. Bellissimo!

p.s. We could use some volunteers to help with food and clinics. Email us at info@beniciabocce.org if you can assist.

After a long, hot, grueling day, the Superfriends were the last men & women standing in our first annual Benicia Bocce Tournament, barely, defeating Forgettabocce for the crown. Congratulations Superfriends!

Attention all Rollers!

The 2018 Benicia Bocce League registration results are in. A total of 60 teams registered this year, 54 returning teams and 6 new teams with just under 600 total league members. Of those 60 teams, amazingly only 1 team was not able to get its first choice. All other teams will play on their preferred day/night.

We still have room for 3 teams to round out seven 9 team divisions. The Sunday morning division needs 2 additional teams and Sunday evening needs 1 team. Although the registration deadline has passed, we are actively seeking to fill those 3 vacancies. If you know anyone who’s still thinking about joining the league and can play on Sunday, please have them contact us at info@beniciabocce.org as soon as possible. 

With the 9 team division format, we will be returning to a 16 match season with 2 bye weeks per team. Schedules will be released once we finalize the Sunday division makeup. We are targeting Sunday April 22nd to start the season, weather permitting.

Capos, please note that roster changes are allowed up until to the end of the 3rd week of the season and can be made through your registration confirmation notice.

Many of you still need to sign the online liability waiver that was emailed to you when your team was registered. In some cases, those emails have been found in junk or spam folders. Please check with your capo if you are having difficulties. They are able to resend the waiver, if needed. 

The Capos & Co-Capos meeting will be held at 10:00am on Saturday, April 7th in the basement of the Vet’s Hall at the 1150 1st Street. It is mandatory that both the capo and co-capo attend this meeting.
