High School Bowling USA
Teaching teamwork and a lifetime of sports opportunity

Throughout its 100+ year history as America’s most popular sport, bowling has maintained a wonderful relationship with the interscholastic community, providing millions of young people an opportunity to experience recreational bowling as a physical education and intramural activity.

Now in the most innovative program in the history of organized sports in North America, the entire bowling community is aligned in presenting a program to provide thousands of high school boys and girls in the United States and Canada with an opportunity to experience the SPORT of bowling as a part of your school system’s varsity letter sport structure.

 

It’s an opportunity being offered to the interscholastic community with no economic risk and no drain on critical manpower and facility resources.  It’s a program that will fully comply with all school system policies and regulations within your school district and your state/province.  It provides for a system of governance and administration with no vested interest other than serving the interests of the young people involved.

 

It requires nothing from the educational community other than a willingness to impartially observe, voluntarily participate, and base your future decisions upon results that will tell all of us whether the program should flourish or flounder.

We want you to decide whether or not bowling should be a high school letter sport in your school system.
