Learwood Middle School Bowling Program kicks off season number 8. This is an ideal non-contact sport for ANY student.

Grade Levels: 5th, 6th and 7th and 8th grades will be able to join the teams. 5th grade players will have a limited number of teams to compete against during match play. Everyone will bowl on Match Day though.

Season: Our Middle School season will run from Monday, August 31 through Sunday, October 25th. There will be practices every Monday from 6:30-8:00 at Spevock’s Nautical Lanes where you will learn the basics of the sport along with proper etiquette. Our HS coaching staff will be there to encourage you to do your best. Every Saturday starting on September 19th through October 26th we will visit different bowling centers throughout the conference to compete with other schools. Competition times vary weekly based on what bowling alley we are bowling at. Start times range from 9am to 12:30pm and matches last approximately 2 hours.

Coaching: Our U.S.B.C. Certified High School coaching staff with the help of the high school players will be available every Monday at practices.

Teams: Our school is looking to create six teams. Boys/girls 5th, 6th and 7th/8th grade. Depending on signups we will implement co-ed teams.

Cost: Registration will be $200.00 (Total Season Cost $200.00 plus $25.00 for Shirt) If you have a shirt from a past season no need to purchase another one. We will do our best to get the same shirt from years past. The fees will cover the cost of lineage, ball and shoe rental for 1.5 hours. We encourage you to purchase your own ball and shoes as this is the quickest way to learning the game. When you are ready to make a purchase, see one of the coaches as they can best advise you on the right ball for your needs. We suggest seeing Adam Mishak for bowling balls and Dan Metelsky for accessories at Aqua Pro Shop at Spevock’s Nautical Lanes for your purchases.

Matches: Each competition will consist of 2 regular team games followed by 2 baker games. A baker game is as follows: bowler 1 bowl first and sixth frame, bowler 2 bowls second and seventh frame and so on. OHSAA uses this minimum format for HS bowling and most college teams bowl baker games as well.

Transportation: Transportation will be the responsibility of the parents. You will need to be dropped off and picked up at the center for practices and matches.
