League Bowling

All bowlers are given a handicap based on their ability, which ensures that everyone is on a level playing field. Everyone plays and contributes equally and the handicap system ensures that everyone is an important member of their team. In bowling no one warms the bench!

We award various prizes or trophies at the end of each season. Also, throughout the year some crests can be earned for achievement, participation, etc. 

Most tournaments are played using a handicap system (or on a pins-over-average basis) so everyone has a chance to win, regardless of their ability. The philosophy behind these events is the promotion of sportsmanship and the development of experience in an organized event. 

Kids can start as young as 3, and bowl until they are 19 in the Youth League. We also have Adult Leagues for 19 years & up. Bowling is a life skill and becomes a recreation and sport that you can enjoy well beyond your youth. Many people in their eighties and nineties continue to enjoy bowling as a means of maintaining a healthy and social lifestyle. 

Both – bowlers are placed on teams and compete against other teams and there is also individual competition with the other players in your league. 

Your coaches and program director will teach you the basics.

Okanagan Bowling Club is equipped with an elevator to reach our Bowling area and with wheelchair devices to aid in bowling.

All bowlers can participate in YBC bowling. However, please contact us if your child requires some extra attention or assistance to be sure there are volunteers available.

Bowling in a Youth Bowling Club league offers the member many benefits. Young people get active with regular, moderate exercise and improve their coordination, balance, and motor skills. The team dynamics of bowling also helps to improve social skills through positive interaction with peers. The concepts and importance of Sportsmanship and Fair Play are reinforced by coaches and volunteers. Bowlers also learn about setting personal goals for themselves and receive achievement awards in recognition of personal and team accomplishments.

Equal participation and contribution by all members, regardless of ability, is a key feature of the program and of a young people developing self-confidence.
