Boccia, Boule, Pétanque League

[dessa_dangerous 13,315]

After three years of watching other people play boccia, I finally got myself a set and now I am addicted.

 

Unfortunately, my boccia-playing career happens to be kicking off at the same time as the rainy season. For me, this is not a problem, as I own a winter coat and am a warm-blooded mammal, but there seem to be many people out there who object to standing around outdoors in the cold and damp, even if the purpose is playing a kickass game like boule.

 

Who wants to meet up for a few games of boule, possibly a beer or two, and NOT stay indoors all winter? Just because it's cold out doesn't mean we have to do nothing but sit in bars, cafes and movie theaters. Let's stay active!

 

Activities that are lame in winter include:

tanning

lake-swimming

camping

streaking

 

Activities that are good in any weather include:

grilling

hiking

canoeing

boule/boccia/pétanque

 

I live in Kreuzkölln, so the place I like to play is on the Landwehrkanal, between Forster- and Liegnitzerstraßes. Closest U-bahnhöfe are Schönleinstr and Görlitzer Bahnhof. We could also meet anywhere in Kreuzberg, Friedrichshain, Neukölln, Prenzlauer Berg or Mitte.

 

It would be cool if people brought their own sets, but I do have a set, so if anyone is interested in learning how to play but doesn't have their own gear, we can also meet up for a one-on-one.

 

Hopefully we can get a TT Berlin boule chapter started! :)

Sounds fun to me. I'm not far and know how to play.

When are you showing up at basketball?
