Have you heard about the resurgence in bocce ball, a revered Italian tradition? A new generation of players is taking on Italian-American clubs and grandfathers everywhere at their own game at an ever-increasing rate. It turns out that in addition to the game's appeal as a relaxing backyard past-time, it also provides a framework for the perfect date. Just ask the young professionals of the area's own DC Bocce League.
"Bocce is the perfect way to make new friends and meet that someone special," says Sarah DeLucas, a co-founder of the DC Bocce League, the nation's largest organized bocce organization. "Bocce provides a great medium for meeting new people. There is a natural flow of conversation deciding whose ball is closer to the pallina and the game can be picked up by people of all abilities. Plus it can be played in your best date outfit — no need for gym clothes."
