About Bocce ball team names

Bocce is simple to describe: each side rolls four large balls at a small target ball, the pallino, and the balls that finish closest score. The word bocce is the Italian plural of boccia, a ball, and most team names start there. Drop bocce into a phrase people already know and you get Bocce Balboa, Baby Got Bocce and Bocce to the Future. The pallino gives you Pallino Pals, Al Pallino and Raiders of the Lost Pallino, and the rolling gives you Roll Models and That's How We Roll.

The game's own terms are just as useful. A ball that comes to rest touching the pallino is a kiss, or baci (Italian for kisses), which is where Chef's Kiss and Due Baci come from. Punto is the soft pointing shot, raffa and volo are the two hitting shots, and in many American leagues knocking a ball away is called spocking, hence Spock and Awe. Close frames are settled with a tape measure, so Measure Twice and Too Close to Call are bocce names too.

The list mixes those puns with Italian food and phrases, film and song titles, wine-league humor and a share of plain club names, such as Old Oak Bocce Club or Bocciofila del Sole, for teams that would rather sound established than funny.

How to choose Bocce ball team names

  • Say the name out loud before you register it. Two or three words such as Holy Bocce or Pallino Patrol are easy to call across a court and fit on a scoreboard.
  • Match the pun to the crowd. Regulars will enjoy Spock and Awe or No Volo Zone, while a casual social league will get Drinking Team With a Bocce Problem at once.
  • Lean into your venue. A restaurant league suits Trattoria Titans, a winery league suits Vineyard Bocce Society or Barolo Barons.
  • If the team plans to stay together for years, a club-style name such as Court Street Rollers ages better than a joke about this summer's film.
  • Look at last season's roster before you commit. Roll Models and That's How We Roll are popular choices, so have a second name ready.

Frequently asked questions

What is a pallino in bocce?

The pallino is the small target ball that is thrown first in every frame, and it is also called the jack. Every ball after it is judged by how close it finishes to the pallino. That is why so many names here play on it, from Kiss the Pallino and Pallino Whisperers to Hit the Road Jack.

How many players are on a bocce team?

Bocce is played one against one, in pairs or in teams of four, and each side rolls four balls a frame however many players share them. Names in the list work for any of those sizes. The Bocce Bunch or Cousins and Company suits a full team of four with a few substitutes.

Are the Italian words in these names used correctly?

The common ones are: andiamo means let's go, molto bene means very good, buona fortuna means good luck, baci are kisses and a bocciofila is a bocce club. Food puns such as Pasta La Vista and Fettuccine Afraido, and mixed phrases such as Molto Bocce and Bocce Bellissimo, are jokes for English speakers and are not meant as Italian.

Can I use these names for lawn bowls or petanque?

Many of them, yes. The rolling puns, the jack names and the club-style names fit any game where you roll or throw a ball at a smaller one. Names built on bocce, pallino, raffa or volo belong to bocce.
