Overview

Bocce and petanque are precision games in which players try to land their throw closest to a target ball. Their place in the corporate catalogue is clear: a station that needs no running, no contact and no fitness, and that is played while talking.

Why every programme has a place for one

At a mixed-attendance event such as a company festival or family day there is always a group who cannot join the active stations: older participants, those who are pregnant, people recovering from surgery, parents with babies. Bocce rescues that group from sitting at the side — they join a real game with real competition rather than watching one.

The hospitality use

There is a second use worth knowing about. Where a company is hosting visiting clients or senior colleagues, the problem is usually that nobody wants to change clothes or exert themselves but everybody is tired of standing around with a drink. This is the station that solves it: it is genuinely competitive, takes twenty minutes, needs no equipment anyone has to bring, and the whole thing is conducted in conversation. It works in a hotel garden as easily as on a pitch.

Game structure

  • The small target ball (jack or cochonnet) is thrown, then teams take turns throwing the heavy balls.
  • The team with the closest ball scores.
  • Knocking an opponent's ball away is a legitimate tactic; this is where the strategy comes in.
  • An end takes five to ten minutes; a match to a points target finishes in 20 to 30.

Surface flexibility

Petanque is played on gravel and packed earth, bocce on grass and level ground. Neither needs a dedicated court: a garden, park, beach or car park can be used. Setup takes a few minutes and the equipment is compact.

Where it fits

Usually planned as one station within a larger event. It can also be run as a standalone corporate tournament, in which case a day programme is built around eight to twelve teams and the conversational nature of the game keeps participants talking to each other all day.

Frequently asked questions

Is fitness required?

No. There is no running, jumping or contact; the game consists of standing and throwing. In terms of age, fitness and mobility it is one of the most inclusive formats in the corporate catalogue.

Where can it be played?

No dedicated court is needed. Petanque works on gravel and packed earth, bocce on grass and level ground; a garden, park, beach or car park can be used. Setup takes a few minutes, which is why it works in a hotel garden during a conference.

Can it be an event on its own?

It can; a day programme can be built around a tournament of eight to twelve teams. Its most common use, though, is as one station within a wider event such as a company festival or family day.

Is there a difference between bocce and petanque?

The rules are similar; the main difference is the surface and the ball type. Petanque uses metal balls on gravel, bocce uses larger balls on grass or level ground. The choice follows the venue.
