MISSION: The Greater Houston USBC Association ensures the integrity and protects the future of the sport, provides programs and services and enhances the bowling experience.
Youth
Bowling in a youth league is an opportunity to learn a lifetime sport and improve your physical skills as well as develop teamwork and leadership abilities. In addition, you may have a chance to earn scholarships each year to be used for your college education. It is not necessary to have all of the skills needed to bowl, if you are willing to learn them. Youth bowling will allow you to make new friends and have a lot of fun and a great time while doing so. Most of the centers in Houston offer a youth program. Contact a bowling center in your area to find out about youth league information.

ARLINGTON, Texas – High school teams now have access to top bowling equipment through a new grant program administered by the Youth Education Services (YES) Fund. The program allows entire high school teams to apply for new bowling gear.
In order to qualify for the Students Equipped to Strike (S.E.T.S.) grant program, at least one member of the team must demonstrate an economic need for assistance.
“High school coaches really need to take a look at this grant program,” Chad Murphy International Bowling Campus Director of Youth Development said. “Kids are sometimes shy about applying for need-based grants. This program is designed to help the child in need but also promote the team concept so the whole roster receives new equipment in the process.”
The S.E.T.S. grants are made possible with assistance from the Bowling Foundation, The YES Fund, Classic Products and The National Bowling Association.
“Athletic directors and coaches now have the opportunity to get new equipment for their teams at no cost to the school or the student-athlete,” Cathy DeSocio, Bowling Foundation Board Chair said. “Custom-fitted equipment can improve not only the scores of the bowler, but the self-confidence of the athlete. These young athletes are working hard to be competitive and this program can help them succeed.”
The YES Fund is a joint initiative of the Bowling Proprietors’ Association of America and the United States Bowling Congress. The YES Fund also is supported by its founding partners Brunswick, Columbia 300, Ebonite, 900 Global, Hammer, QubicaAMF, Roto Grip, Storm and Track.
Applications for the S.E.T.S. grant can be found online at "Bowl.com/highschool/" or "bpaa.com/youth/".
