High school bowling was started around here in 2000. The proprietors agreed to provide the lanes, pay a coach, and buy uniforms for the schools. They have both a varsity junior varsity team and can earn a sport letter. The program has been a huge success so far with a lot of kids trying out for the teams.
I saw in the paper today that they have now agreed to start a state championship as well.
Apparently a couple of other metro areas have had their proprietors do the same thing and they now have enough schools participating to have a state championship.
An example of bowling proprietors trying to get youth bowlers involved and build a base for tomorrow.
