Things to Know on Game Day
Every Wednesday, make sure to check in with a Black Shirt at the picnic table located southwest of the playground and the bocce courts. Each team will play one game on the courts, as indicated on your schedule, with the remainder of games set up with cones and played on the grass on the southwest quadrant of the park (on the side of the sidewalk closest to the I-395 overpass).
In the case of inclement weather, we will post an update on this page by 4 p.m., game day. Make up games will most likely take place that Thursday.
Check out our Rules for more details. Standings and Pictures will be updated a few days after your games are done.

The Pour House (319 Pennsylvania Ave, SE) is our Cap Hill postgame destination and is located just a few short blocks away from the park. During League nights, members enjoy the following specials on our sponsor beers, Peroni and Blue Moon, as well as food specials at the bar. We should have:

Bocce Courts
In 2005, the DC Bocce League funded and constructed two bocce courts in Garfield Park on Capitol Hill. The courts, located between the playground and tennis courts, are the first and only public bocce courts in DC. We invite the entire community to enjoy them and become familiar with one of the world’s oldest sports.
Tag It!
This season, we are posting all league photos to Facebook albums, which allows for interactive commenting and now TAGGING! Anyone in the league has the ability to tag friends, teammates, etc., so please check out our photos from this season and let the Facebook connecting begin!
Charity
At the end of each season, winning teams from each division are awarded a cash prize to donate to a charity of their choice. We have donated to many local, national and international charities. We are also happy to participate in special charity events throughout the year. If you have any ideas feel free to contact us mail@dcbocce.com
