8-Year old Branden plays like a Pro
Allen, a new player (on left) and Branden - only 8-years old and he's pointing better than the rest of us. Branden joined us (his grandmother looking (and cheering) on). This is one of the best aspects of petanque, the ability for people of all ages to participate (on an equal level). I wonder how well he'll be playing by age 14 !!! Allen played particularly well, using a number of different throws (rolling, hi-lob, half-lob) with very good results. Both only just started playing today!
