Boost for bocce in Australia

Packaworld and Bocce Australia have teamed up to support their shared goal of getting more people engaged in bocce.

As part of the collaboration, Packaworld’s portable bocce courts are available at a special price to league organisers, event coordinators and players in Australia.

Bocce Australia, which marked its 50th anniversary this year, organises bocce events Australia-wide to introduce the game to as many Australians as possible.  

Frank Funari, Bocce Australia’s president, welcomed the new partnership, which he said would make the game more accessible and allow game organisers to take bocce to new locations, including schools and communities without existing courts.

“With clubs in most states gearing up to play bocce again as Covid-19 restrictions ease, safety is a priority. The portable courts allow us to take the game outside and to large venues where people can be physically distanced to reduce the spread of Covid-19,” he said.

The Recreation Packabocce court was a hit at a fun day held by Bocce Australia and Bocce Federation of Victoria on 13 December.

Held at Sunshine Italia Sports Club in Melbourne, Mr Funari said the event was a great warm up for a summer on the road.

“We found it was easy to set up and pack up, which was a good test run before we go on a road trip promoting the sport at wineries and beach parks this summer.”

Packaworld CEO Peter Roberts said his company was passionate about helping people bring the joy of sport to more people, and he is pleased to offer the special deal on portable bocce courts.

“The inflatable courts, made from heavy-duty thermoplastic, have allowed a new generation of players to transform almost any environment into a bocce lover’s dream.”
