Roll into Summer.
The 8th Annual
BBC Invitational.
South Side style. Old World game. Thirty teams, a stack of cash, and a family-friendly festival of bocce, bounce houses, flag football and wiffle ball — back at Doyle Stadium on July 25, 2026.
A whole
Saturday
of bocce.
Thirty teams. Ten pools of three. Single-elimination bracket from there. Cash prizes for win, place, show, plus payouts down the bracket. Bring everyone — bounce houses, flag football, and wiffle ball run all afternoon for the kids.
Rules and gameplay are subject to change. Registered participants will be notified.
Founded in a backyard. Now a South Side institution.
What started behind a garage in Beverly has grown into a yearly tournament that takes over half of a football field.
The Beverly Bocce Club is open to anyone — old hands, total beginners, kids who just want a bocce ball to roll. We play pickup nights through the summer, host the Invitational in July, and gather for the cup ceremony in early fall. No dues yet. No politics. Just a slow game, cold drinks, and the neighborhood out on the courts.
Coolest swag
in the neighborhood.
Three years running, you've made our gear part of the South Side's wardrobe. Spotting a BBC tee on Western Ave never gets old. Stay tuned — this year's drop is in the works.
