DC Bocce & Iraqi Basketball Sports Visitors Program
June 8 2009

Earlier this summer we were given the oppurtunity to teach a young group of Iraqi Exchange students how to play bocce. The purpose of this program was to work at the grass roots level to aid non-elite youth and coaches in discovering how success in athleticism can be translated into the development of life skills and achievement in the classroom, and to spread America's message of international understanding, cultural tollarance and mutual respect.

We truley has a blast.  It was amazing how quickly they picked up the rules and strategey of the game.  A few pictures follow.  We hope them the best in their bright future.
