Haro Plays His First Game - of many!


Meet Haro, who stopped by to play petanque for his first time. He is hearing impaired, but with the help of Jeff and Joe's instructions -- he acquired a good grasp of the game, and played well for a first timer. And we gained some more insight into why petanque is such a universally acceptable sport. After a few initially long throws, he gained a feel for the boule and put in some close points. We hope and know he will come back as he certainly had a great time.

And that's one of the best aspects of Petanque - it allows for people to play regardless of age, gender, and disability.
We welcome everyone to our club.
