Important Reminder: Popularity of Bocce in PebbleCreek continues to grow. Bocce Association Treasurer Mollie McErlean reports 30 teams have already signed up for the fall 2017 season and it is important that registrations be turned in to her as soon as possible. Early registration forms may be turned in to Mollie until September 3. She can be contacted at 623-935-2822 or at [email protected]. Registration fee is $20 per league per year. The $20 covers the fall, winter and spring seasons.
Final registrations will be accepted on September 5 and 6 from 8:00 to 10:00 a.m. at the kiosk in the Eagle’s Nest Clubhouse. Registration ends on September 6. Teams playing in the night leagues should submit their registration forms as soon as possible because there are only 16 spots available for each night league due to HOA regulations that require lights to be out at the complex by 10:00 p.m. Registration for the night league is on a first-come first-served basis.
