Our leagues run by season: winter, spring, summer & fall. Each season is typically comprised of 5 weeks of regular season games followed by 1-2 weeks of playoffs. Several factors may affect your season schedule, such as weather delays or rain cancellations. Double-headers or make-up weeks may occasionally need to be scheduled in order to finish the season in a timely fashion.

The basics of bocce are easy: throw the ball as close as possible to the target ball or "pallina". The team who has the closest ball(s) to the pallina wins the frame! For a more comprehensive overview of the game, head to our rules page and watch a video that will teach you how to play. From there, you can also download a set of our official league rules. Please note that the rules vary by location and type of bocce played.

We think so. We hope you will too! Bocce is easy to learn and we welcome players at every experience level, even if that includes no experience at all. You'll find bocce is a very social sport. Teams throw from the same end of the court, and opposing players find it easy to chat with each other during play. Plus the game strategy is challenging. While bocce is not hard to pick up, you'll quickly learn that no shot is guaranteed, which makes for a fun & friendly competitive experience!

Registering for bocce is easy! Just register through The Regular App for the upcoming season or find DC Bocce through Eventbrite.

The registration fee varies by location. You'll find detailed pricing on the page of your preferred playing location.

We have a new pricing model since returning to play since COVID. Leagues will be offered at 1 price during the registration period (no more early-bird or late-registration pricing).

You may cancel your registration and collect a full refund up until we close registration. After registration closes, you may still cancel your registration but no refunds will be available.

Please keep this policy in mind, particularly if you create a team. Teams with less than 5 players will have players added to their team. If you fail to get to 5 players and are subsequently unhappy that players have been added to your team, you may withdraw from the season but you will not be granted a refund. (players will only be added to teams with less than 5 people after registration closes.)

The official registration deadline is listed on each location page. Players may be allowed to register after the posted deadline at the discretion of Major League Bocce. If you wish to register after the deadline, please contact us at info@theregularapp.com.
