There are some overhand throws (my inlaws play petanque at summer gatherings) but they're very controlled and when the kids are playing, they're not used. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-old-to-play-bocce#post-2247100 Mon, 27 Jul 2015 13:34:42 +0000 Mamaof2 2247100@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: Not that I remember! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-old-to-play-bocce#post-2247097 Mon, 27 Jul 2015 13:33:08 +0000 mrbee 2247097@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mamaof2: Oh that's great to hear - my son is almost 6!</p> <p>Do the wooden balls ever go flying unexpectedly?

He started playing with my mom at age 6 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-old-to-play-bocce#post-2247090 Mon, 27 Jul 2015 13:29:51 +0000 mrbee 2247090@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>There are a surprising number of bocce courts near where we live! I was thinking that maybe it would be a fun game for the kids... but then again, it involves throwing wooden balls through the air. So maybe it's not a good idea just yet.</p> <p>I found this playset which said it's sized for children, but still recommended for kids 13 years old and older:<br /> <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Lucio-Londero-Junior-Play-Bocce/dp/B000JWNIBW" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/Lucio-Londero-Junior-Play-Bocce/dp/B000JWNIBW</a></p> <p>How old should kids be before they play bocce? </p>
