Bringing the Game to Franklin Square

A Tradition Turned Community

Bocce has always been more than just a game—it’s about tradition, competition, and bringing people together.

Bocce Social is built on that foundation, inspired by a lifelong passion for the sport that started decades ago with

Mike Lisi Sr.

The story begins when a 16-year-old Mike Lisi Sr. first experienced bocce in his future father-in-law’s backyard. At every family gathering, the game was at the center of it all—filled with friendly matches, competition, and laughter. That love for bocce never faded. Years later, after moving into a new home, he built his first court—a small setup that has now stood strong for over 30 years.

In 2011, he took it a step further. A new house was built, and with it, a new court was built. Along with the new court came Franklin Square Bocce Club (FSBC). What started as a way to bring friends and family together quickly grew into a passionate community of bocce players.

Now, that same passion is turning into something even bigger—Bocce Social, a place where anyone can play, compete, and connect.

The Club Features:

Two professional-grade, Italian-style bocce courts

A private, members-only club setting

A comfortable lounge for socializing and spectating

Organized leagues, tournaments, and events

A year-round space built around the game

Whether you’re here for competition or conversation, Bocce Social is designed to feel like home.

Membership Philosophy

Bocce Social operates as a private membership-based club.

Members enjoy access to the club, flexibility to come and go as they please, and priority access to leagues and events. League participation is optional, allowing members to enjoy the space in whatever way fits their lifestyle.

We believe the best clubs are built on respect for the game, the space, and the people in it.

Our Community

Bocce Social welcomes players of all skill levels.

You don’t need experience to join — just an appreciation for the game and a desire to be part of something social, competitive, and fun. From casual players to seasoned competitors, our community is what makes the club special.
