Welcome Back Bowlers!

The 2021-2022 Bowling season kicks off in just another week and we would like to welcome all of the bowlers back to the lanes.

This year is going to be an exciting year for the Grand Rapids Area. Next summer the National Youth Bowling Tournament and JR Gold Competition are going to be held across Lansing, Muskegon, and Grand Rapids. This tournament will be bringing thousands of youth bowlers and their families to the area and also a plethora of volunteering opportunities that we will need everyone’s help with filling.

First up for us is the 700/800 tournament. Entries are being finalized now and will be out shortly so keep a lookout on our Facebook Page, this website, and centers near you!

Lastly, if you happen to see Mike Billet around be sure to say hi and welcome him onto the board. He is the newest board member elected to serve you.
