  • Bonjour à Tous,

    Et comment c'est un sport, je veux, oui ! Je suis adepte de ce sport d'adresse et entre deux pastis, c'est un pur délice...

    Si vous venez en Provence, on se fera un concours d'enfer !

    Amicalement, Olivier.
  • LA BOULE NEW YORKAISE (LBNY) is a pétanque club in New York City. It is a division of the New York Petanque, Inc, a nonprofit company.

    Mostly we play in Bryant Park and in Washington Square Park, though the latter is under reconstruction right now. Some of our members also play in various parts of Queens, Brooklyn, and Westchester.

    Our club is dedicated to promoting pétanque as a fun and recreational activity, as well as a competitive sport.

    We are affiliated with the Federation of Pétanque USA, Inc. (FPUSA), the national federation, which is a member of the Federation International de Pétanque et Jeu Provençal (FIPJP), the 70+ nation international governing body based in France.

    During the playing season (April to November), we holds tournaments about once a month—some random “melees”, some “select” and some major Opens—and usually in Bryant Park. Otherwise you can find us just playing in there on the weekends. We give free pétanque lessons every weekday 11am to 6pm at Bryant Park.

    At more than 120 members, we are a varied, ecletic bunch living mostly in the Tri-State area, with a few members from other states and even overseas.
    Membership

    All regular members of La Boule New Yorkaise receive membership in the FPUSA. Those who already belong to another FPUSA club or FIPJP recognized national federation may join the club as associate members. Both regular and associate members enjoy full and equal rights as members of New York Petanque, Inc.

    Regular members will receive a rule book and a valid international membership card (license) from the FPUSA that will allow you to play in pétanque tournaments around the country and the world.

    You will get periodic newsletters from LBNY—and occasionally from the FPUSA.
