Bringing bocce to special needs schools
The Queensland Bocce Federation (QBF) supported the Department of Education Queensland Representative School Sport event at the South Pines Sports complex by offering 50 students from five local special needs schools the opportunity to showcase and enjoy the game of bocce. This was done in conjunction with other sports such as netball, cricket, tennis, AFL, and touch NRL.
QBF President Dino Marrone and committee members Lewis Sciortino, Mario DeMarco and Joe Reitano set up a rope court on carpet tiles and watched the faces of the players light up when rolling the Raffa boules.
