Portable courts to bridge the gap in Florida Keys’ bocce scene

27/1/2023

 
Bocce will soon be booming across the islands of the Florida Keys thanks to the recent arrival of eight high-quality portable bocce courts purchased by Special Olympics Florida.

The revolutionary courts, developed by Packaworld International, will be provided to schools in the archipelago so they can run school-based and inter-school unified bocce competitions for students. Generous grants from the Ocean Reef Community Foundation and the Community Foundation of the Florida Keys helped make the purchase possible.

“The portable courts allow us to offer the sport of bocce to a wider range of individuals with disabilities and also provide inclusive opportunities for those without disabilities," said Ruth Coleman from Special Olympics Florida.

Goalball boosted by portable Packagoals in Pennsylvania

25/1/2023

 
Dozens of children and young people with vision impairments are now enjoying the thrill of playing goalball with top-quality goals, thanks to the arrival of portable Goalball Packagoals in Pennsylvania.   

The portable goals from Packaworld were used by Envision Blind Sports for the first time at its 2022 summer camp, held at Penn State University for Blind or Visually Impaired (BVI) children between ages 5 and 18.

Envision Blind Sports Executive Director Wendy Fagan said the children and young people taking part in the camp and goalball sessions run since have enjoyed playing with proper goals instead of cones or goals made of unwieldy PVC pipe.

"I’ve been coaching for 30 years, and I’ve never been this affected by a piece of sports equipment before."

Students from across Minnesota mixed and mingled on portable bocce courts from Packaworld at the Minnesota Unified Bocce State Tournament earlier this month.

Katie Howlett from Special Olympics Minnesota said the event was “fantastic” and she was impressed with the convenience of the inflatable courts.

“Everyone loved using the Packbocce courts, particularly the event managers, because they were just so easy to move around and set up.”

Portable goalball goals help bring sport to the blind in Michigan

25/10/2022

 
A youth camp in Michigan has been bringing the high-octane sport of goalball to students who are Blind or Visually Impaired (BVI), with a little help from Packaworld’s portable goalball goals and some star guests from Team USA.

Camp Tuhsmeheta in Greenville recently used two new Goalball Packagoals from Packaworld to run a youth recreation clinic and host the Michigan Blind Athletic Association (MBAA) goalball tournament.

The camp is run by the Michigan Department of Education - Incidence Outreach to cater for students who are BVI, or Deaf/Hard of Hearing, as well as other youth education groups.

Bluegrass, Bourbon and Bocce in Maryland

10/10/2022

 
When your event is called “Bluegrass, Bourbon & Bocce,” it’s pretty obvious what guests are getting – good music, good bourbon and a rollicking good time.

That’s exactly what was on offer at the Bluegrass, Bourbon & Bocce event, hosted by the Historical Society of Carroll County at the historic Union Mills Homestead, just outside of Westminster, Maryland

The mid-September event was a sell-out, with more than 260 tickets purchased, and featured bluegrass band, Sideline, along with a selection of fine bourbons from local distilleries.

But while it may be easy to transport a few dozen bottles of bourbon, and even a six-piece bluegrass band, a bocce court can pose certain challenges. That is, of course, unless the court is a Recreation Packabocce court, provided by Packaworld.

Rugby’s growing popularity in the US brings deal with World Rugby Shop

9/9/2022

 
Leading North American rugby retailer World Rugby Shop has become the latest distributor of Rugby Packaposts – the world’s first truly portable rugby posts with a regulation-height crossbar.

The deal makes it possible for rugby competition organisers, clubs, schools and others across the USA to purchase the posts direct from the World Rugby Shop online store, in addition to Packaworld’s USA online store.

Packaworld Chief Executive Peter Roberts said the high-quality inflatable posts could be set up in minutes and would enable training, tournaments and games to brought to more locations. Their versatility allows them to be used on a variety of different surfaces, including synthetic turf where new holes cannot be drilled for permanent posts.
