Bocce Tournament!
The Coccia Institute, in collaboration with Elmwood Park UNICO, is excited to kick-off the 2024-25 academic year Italian-style with our annual bocce tournament!
Thanks to the efforts of Elmwood Park UNICO in restoring the bocce court in East Rutherford, we are thrilled to offer students and the local community an opportunity to play bocce in this off-campus location.
Join us on Wednesday, October 2nd at 5:00pm. Pizza will be provided to all attendees.
The East Rutherford Bocce Court is located right next to J&S Italian Imports, located at 127 Park Avenue in East Rutherford. There is FREE municipal parking in the back of the bocce court.
