TNBA Junior Bowling Program
Fostering bowling skills, sportsmanship, leadership and friendship among young bowlers while preparing them for successful competition and future opportunities.
Building Bowlers and Future Leaders
The purpose of the Junior Bowling Program of The National Bowling Association, Inc. is to foster and promote the game of Ten Pins among both boys and girls. Membership is open to USBC-certified youth bowlers and non-bowlers.
The program serves as a recruiting agency and point of entry for young bowlers to receive the guidance, encouragement and training needed to learn the game and develop the skills essential to successful competition.
This preparation helps TNBA youth bowlers compete in tournaments and competitions while also pursuing opportunities to earn college scholarships.
