5 Years and Never Boring

The Polo Grounds, Wembley Stadium, even the Emirates have nothing on the newly remodeled Campbell Bocce Grounds. As we begin our Fifth season, the Campbell himself is busy engineering a new marvel for players and fans alike. The only question is will it be ready in time. High hopes people, the proof will be in the pudding in two short weeks when the first games commence on June 10 at 6:30 pm..

Following our traditional kickoff dinner and cocktails this past Friday, six captains were appointed and teams selected. This year’s league captains are:

Captain Conor Pullman– returning League champion, Mr Pullman is known for his dedication and focus, consistently leading his team to the top end brackets.

Captain Barb Kutschinski -2015 winner of the “Captain, O My Captain” trophy, the indefatigable Barb is raring to go, and vows to lead this year’s team to their best season ever.

Captain Ted Lusher– creator of the inimitable Teddy, awarded to the League’s first place team, Captain Ted is also our behind the scenes consultant for the new Campbell Bocce Grounds.

Captain Jill Milliner– from “2015 Rookie of the Year”to captain in just one season, Jill is know for her decisive play and innate understanding of Bocce strategy.

Captain Chris Cattich– will last year’s “Wooden Spoon” award upset the dead eye accuracy and perfect timing of new Captain Chris Cattich?  Let’s see if CCC can share his skills with his new team members and reclaim some of his former glory.

Captain Carla Brouillette– can you say Competitive? How else to describe the drive and determination (even with cocktail in hand) of this one woman dynamo. With perhaps the strongest lineup in this year’s league, Captain Carla will be the one to watch.

All Team members you are all responsible along with your Captain to come up with a name for your team by Thursday, June 9. Teams are listed under the website tab, TEAMS.

Captains you are responsible to communicate game dates and times to your teammates, assign substitutes when needed and coordinate who plays at each end, and which of your teammates is responsible for the scoreboard.

A roster with contact details, will be sent to all captains and players by Wednesday this  week.

This year the first round of League games will begin on Friday June 10, at 6:30 pm. Regular game nights will be on alternate Fridays beginning at 6:30pm. The full 2016 season schedule is posted on our website under the tab “SCHEDULE”
