Greater Seattle Youth Bowling
This site is dedicated to the youth bowlers in the Greater Seattle region. It is intended to provide information about organized bowling events for boys and girls ages four to twenty-one. These events may be leagues sponsored by the participating bowling centers solely for youth bowlers, traveling leagues which bowl at various bowling centers during the season, high school leagues, and tournaments held at the local and state levels.
Most bowling centers have league programs for its youth bowlers. These leagues are generally held on Saturday mornings and are open to all boys and girls from age six to twenty-one. No experience is necessary. Each league is usually divided into divisions based on either the age of the bowler, or their averages. Coaches and certified instructors are usually available to assist the youth bowlers in learning the basics of bowling, and ensuring that everyone is having fun.
