Petanque in Europe this summer!

One of Ibiza's beautiful beaches, just 50 miles off the coast of Spain, across from Valencia

For those of you who are interested in playing abroad next summer, here is a calendar of some significant tournaments that FPUSA teams have entered in past years.

Mind you, the level is always very challenging, hence the requirement for those interested to officially represent the FPUSA to be granted approval by the FPUSA Sport Committee.

However unofficial teams are free to go on their own and do not need Sport Committee approval.

The FPUSA has just received a formal invitation for an official FPUSA Team from :

FEDERACION BALEAR DE PETANCA

DELEGACION DE IBIZA Y FORMENTERA

For the 17th int’l de Petanque of the “Island of Ibiza”, scheduled on May 27^th thru 29^th, including full room and board.

Team of 3 + Coach, Sport Commitee approval required.

More details available from RCPIERREsq@hotmail.com

The following tournaments do not include a formal invitation offering room and board at this time, though some of them could come up with one within the next few months depending on their sponsorship. As it goes, an update will be posted on our Blog:

La Marseillaise a Petanque

A weekend in Louisiana playing boules, how fun!

A new FPUSA club is forming in Lafayette, Louisiana, La Boule Cadienne de Lafayette and hosting their 3rd annual tournament featuring some excellent players flying in from France to complement a bunch of local teams and some from around the country. Last year about 40 teams were entered. If you like crawfish, turducken and some great cajun food, this is the place to be March 19 & 20, 2011.
