Youth Bowling – A Future for the Sport
The NYS USBC, through its network of tournament coordinators and regional tournament managers, places a high priority on youth bowling. Yearly scholarships generated through state youth and adult-junior events approach the $60,000 mark.
NYS USBC leadership supports the NYS Youth Leaders program and encourages local associations to form their own chapters and to participate at our state youth tournament finals and at the annual state meeting. We recognize that these youth leaders are thefuture of the governance of our sport.
