Bocce has always been more than just a game—it’s about tradition, competition, and bringing people together.

Bocce Social is built on that foundation, inspired by a lifelong passion for the sport that started decades ago with

Mike Lisi Sr.

The story begins when a 16-year-old Mike Lisi Sr. first experienced bocce in his future father-in-law’s backyard. At every family gathering, the game was at the center of it all—filled with friendly matches, competition, and laughter. That love for bocce never faded. Years later, after moving into a new home, he built his first court—a small setup that has now stood strong for over 30 years.

In 2011, he took it a step further. A new house was built, and with it, a new court was built. Along with the new court came Franklin Square Bocce Club (FSBC). What started as a way to bring friends and family together quickly grew into a passionate community of bocce players.

Now, that same passion is turning into something even bigger—Bocce Social, a place where anyone can play, compete, and connect.
