Boule, named Petanque in France and Bocce in Italy, is a sport whose origin dates back over 2000 years. Over time, the different playing styles and rules have evolved. Even the balls that are played with differ in size, weight and material. The most common type of balls are metal spheres, of which each player gets three. The goal is to toss ones balls so that they land closest to a smaller target ball, called the jack or pallino.
Now bocce and boules-sports can be played in an entirely new way. Crossboccia®, aka. Streetboccia or Crossboule, is an absolute revolution. This is where the players balls differ greatly from the previously known boule balls made of metal or marble. This trend variation is played with soft, durable fabric balls, making the playing field three dimensional for the first time. Now all sorts of uneven surfaces like stairs, tables, or benches (be it indoors or outdoors) integrated into the game. Crossboccia® balls offers each player absolute freedom in the gameplay. The rules have also been adjusted along with the innovation of the balls to incorporate the new playing possibilities.
