About NOLA Bocce
We are all about providing a friendly, welcoming environment where everyone is invited to get together and enjoy the sport of bocce.
The club was founded in 1971 by seven men who enjoyed playing bocce. The club was located in the Mid-City area of New Orleans until 1982, when it moved to its current location in Metairie.
The club runs leagues on Tuesday and Wednesday nights starting at 7:00 PM. Open bocce is held most Thursday nights to introduce newcomers to the sport and to provide a more relaxed atmosphere to play in.
We welcome ALL NOLA metro residents and guests—of every ethnicity, background, and experience level. Meet Our Team behind it all.
