Size of the Bocce Ball
The size of your bocce ball is typically measured in millimeters and across its diameter. Sizes of bocce balls vary quite a bit and will help determine which bocce ball set is best for you. According to the Bocce Standards Association, the International Standard bocce ball is 107mm (4.2 inches) and weighs 920 grams (2 pounds.)
- A bocce ball that is smaller than 100mm is typically best for children or beginners who do not plan to play often. This size is easiest to handle and toss.

- The occasional backyard bocce player will most likely appreciate a size somewhere between 100mm and 110mm.
- The expert or professional bocce ball player will normally use a size somewhere between 107mm and 115mm. The size will depend on the strength of the players and their frequency of play.

How is bocce ball played?
Asked by Wiki User
ok so you should have one smaller ball than the others. You have one person roll that as far or as close as they want. After that you take turns trying to get your color ball the closest to the smaller one. You CAN knock the others persons ball out of the way. The person who got closest wins one point. If two of your balls are closest to the smaller one you get two points. You can choose how many points you wanna go up to depending on how long you want your game to be. Oh and the person closest to the smaller ball gets to throw it the next round.
