Registration is currently underway for the 2015 Town of Huntington Bocce Tournament. The tournament, hosted by Councilman Mark Cuthbertson and the Town of Huntington, is a FREE event which will take place on Saturday, August 1st starting at 9:00 am at Mill Dam Park in Huntington (West Shore and Mill Dam Roads.) For the bocce tournament registration form, please CLICK HERE.
Bocce is an old world sport that combines bowling, marbles and the precision of golf. The sport takes a great deal of skill as a player tosses a two pound ball down a 76 foot long dirt court. Whether aiming for the pallini (a small white sphere that looks like a cue ball) or trying to bump the opposition's ball out of the way, it certainly is more difficult than it looks.
Teams consisting of 4 players can register through July 17, 2015. Space is limited and is on a first come, first served basis. For more information about the bocce tournament, please call the Department of Citizen Services at 351-2877.
