Petanque is for All Ages!

Jack and his Grandmother were about to go to a movie when they spotted the club playing in the park. Jack was very interested in trying out the sport and we gave him a preliminary practice session (throwing boules, shooting boules, rolling to the cochon - he did VERY well) before having a full 13-point petanque game (Jack & Jeff vs. Dan (throwing left-handed)).

Jack really held his own, knowing all of the rules, hitting the opposition's boule a number of times, and pointing very closely. He is going to show his Grandpa and his Dad the game, and no doubt soon they'll all return to play with the club.
