All Rotarians are invited to become part of a Bocce Ball League starting in Lower Paxton Township.   The Rotary Club of Colonial Park and the Lower Paxton Township Public Works department have made significant improvements to the Bocce Ball courts at Koons Park.  The courts have been upgraded to a professional playing surface and league play begins soon.  The league will be for both men and women, ages 18 and up.
 
This season, each team will consist of four (4) players and up to four (4) substitute players.  The first session will begin on Wednesday, April 25, 2018 at 6:00 pm with an orientation/practice evening.  Depending on the amount of interest, additional week nights or an earlier time slot will be added.
 
The fee to register for the Wednesday night league is $35.00 per person including substitute players.  All equipment is included, and weekly schedules and standings will be sent to each team captain.  Team registration fees can be sent to:
Rotary Club of Colonial Park
Attn:  Bocce Ball Registration
PO Box 6522
Harrisburg, PA 17112
 
Make checks payable to:  Rotary Club of Colonial Park and put “Bocce Ball Registration” in memo line.  Please include the name of the team, the team captain’s name, cell number and email address and each team member’s name and email on a separate sheet of paper.  Individuals who do not have enough members for a team can submit their individual information along with their check and they will be included on a team.
