Our Leagues for 2023

Please take a moment to read about our Winter Leagues for 2023. Share our downloadable flyer with your friends and family.

League Costs / Fees. As many of us have experienced, all activities and costs have risen over the past 18 months and our league is no exception. We pride ourselves on being a great value and activity for the fees we charge to cover our costs. This year, our league registration fees have increased $20 per bowler. To lower the impact to your wallet, Junior Bowling will cover all credit card processing and website transaction fees this year. The cost of the league shown is the cost you pay at checkout.

Instructional League details.  There will be two Instructional Leagues to choose from in 2023. Both Instructional Leagues are available for children ages 5 -10 and will have the same benefits (coaching, t-shirt, awards, etc). The first session, Instructional League I, is recommended for children aged 5-8 and will play the season with bumpers. The second session, Instructional League II, is recommended for children aged 8-10 and we will play the season without bumpers.

Youth League Age Change.  Please note that we have lowered our oldest age to 17 in the Youth League. Your youth must be no older than 17 as of January 1, 2023. This is due to SafeSport requirements for youths 18 or older participating with younger youth bowlers.  If your child turns 18 during the league session, this is ok, but your youth will need to take the SafeSport certification test before they are allowed to bowl after their birthday.

League Start Times are the same as last year.
We have kept the start times for our leagues to keep a good flow of parents and youths in and out of Metro Bowl and provide time to clean up the alley between shifts.

Instructional League I - 9:30am
Instructional League II - 11:45am
Youth League - 2:00pm

Make-Up Games (Important for 2023) Due to the popularity of Metro Bowl with league play, open bowling times are unavailable. Therefore, we will not be able to offer pre or post bowling slots for games that your youth has missed. We will use a standard absent score for the weeks that your youth is not in attendance.

An Installment payment plan for all registration fees is available for a small fee. This fee covers the second website and merchant fee to charge your credit card again. We understand that our league starts near the holidays and funds can be tight especially if you have multiple kids registering. The first half of the payment is due on registration and the second half is due on the last Friday of January.

Finally, if you have a preferred team your child would like to play with, you and your teammates should register on the same day / time. Send us an email when your teammates have all registered. The expectation is our league will be full this year.

Please Note that you don't need to have a team to register for our leagues! We'll put you on a team with similarly aged kids and balance the teams out evenly.
