Tips & Warnings
Find out if your player has colors. For instance, a player may only play with green or red balls, for a variety of reasons. You can purchase balls and related equipment in those colors.
There are different sizes of balls for play; while smaller bocce balls may fit more easily into the hands of young players, they are made for the more experienced player, as smaller balls make the game more challenging.

We didn't have a bocce ball set and wanted to give the game a try. We used a golf ball and the colored balls from our croquet set. So much fun!
