Do you think that I could get eighty to ninety year olds to play Bocce Ball?

I just bought a set and thought it might be fun, for the people at my mother's assisted living. Do you think the balls will be too heavy? Can they play if they have to use a wheel chair?

Any ideas on how to get them together to play? Any help would be much appreciated. Asked by HEIDI5522 32 months ago Similar questions: eighty ninety year olds play Bocce Ball Uncategorized.

Yes, you probably could The only problem with the game is that the largers balls are quite heavy and they require some strength to throw. I'm not sure that people that age would be able to do that well and safely. Sources: Opinion .

Get eighty to ninety year olds to play Bocce Ball If only some llary people were around......They could make it be 9:20, because they are entitled to those extra three hours. If you missed Scott McClellan on Keith Olbermann.....go find it. It was a historic moment in American history....I missed most of it because I was dredging up all of Nike's community service hours for the past year.

We have court tomorrow morning at 8:30 in Salinas. Nike is set to go off probation tomorrow. Off probation in September she can emancipate herself and escape her dysfunctional Cachagua life.

On probation, she is stuck. Her mom.......the meth addict/whore who seems to only remember she has a daughter at 2am, or when she is out of money for drugs.....called last night to tell Nike that she is going to lie to the judge and tell him that Nike has not been home in three months and needs to stay on probation. Sample public statements by Mom, in rooms full of people.....You are lucky to BE here......you were just a drunken mistake."Nike is fifteen.

And by some miracle so far not crippled by this kind of abuse. Picture Audrey Hepburn....hiding under that house in Holland, eating roots. Sources: http://cachaguastore.blogspot.com/2008_05_01_archive.html .

2 And people in wheelchairs could do it, too. I lived in Sun City, CA, for a while. This town began primarily as a retirement community.

I've seen seniors of all ages playing bocce and shuffleboard and swimming. If the assisted living home where your mother works has lawn enough, bocce is a good idea. As well as croquet.

3 Those balls are too heavy for some of us. I tried to play Easter Sunday...first time in years. I could throw the ball, not far, and very wild.

I have this theory though that if I build up arm strenght I will be able to do it. Incidently, we were playing on the lawn, so we really could roll the ball, and had to pitch it like horseshoes. I'm pretty sure I could still play on a regular court.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
