From Jack Velntine -

We are having a coaches meeting n Saturday June 24th 12:00pm at Maplewood Lanes. I have included a message I sent to the Advocates for LPS Bowling page. If you know any coaches that would be interested in attending the meeting please pass on the following message.

Hi, I am working on organizing a meeting to create a Club bowling schedule for Fall 2023. We will meet at Maplewood Lanes on Saturday June 24th at 12:00. If anyone can’t attend I will have my laptop up on Zoom and let those of you who can't make it in person to join remotely.

I think we can get at least 5-6 tournaments put together. It would give our bowlers a solid fall schedule to get them ready for the Unified and Varsity HS seasons. Each team could attend as many or as few as they want.

Here is an outline of our proposed structure but the details will be worked out at the meeting.

Team Tournaments

-4 person teams formed from a maximum of 2 schools
-Separate Girls and Boys divisions(if a team wants to combine boys and girls they would compete in the boys division)
-Sport/Challenge patterns
-3 regular games & 3 baker games. Cut to top 8 for bracket. Best 2 out of 3
-Travel to Columbus, Grand Island, Omaha, and Fremont, with other possible locations including Norfolk, Wayne, Lincoln, York, Kearney, etc.
-Each club hosts their own tournament and takes care of the scholarships and awards.

I hope we can get some coaches from Lincoln to put teams together. There are lots of talented bowlers that need more outlets to showcase their ability.

Thanks,
Jack Valentine

Hello NHSBF Followers,

We are looking for some feedback on a new concept in youth bowler development. Although the survey is written from the Sun Valley Lanes aspect, if your local center had the oppotunity to provide this new concept, what should it look like?

We are looking for your feedback as we work through ideas and plans for a Youth Bowling Academy. A few things I would like you to keep in mind when filling out this survey.
• Put yourself in a scenario where your youth athlete has committed to bowling as one of their main sports (i.e. volleyball, football, etc..), not as a hobby sport.
• Reminder that bowling is an official NSAA high school sport now.
• There are a ton of collegiate scholarship opportunities for bowlers, especially in Nebraska.
• Bowling is one of the few youth sports, where kids can earn scholarship money through competition!

Here's the survey link: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdvN9tKWOSAj7S1koZD__Tzm3aYxqCsr-9y3y252D49ipF2Gg/viewform

Thank you in advance for your time and input.

Great job ladies!

Well, it's been a LONG time, but we finally got it done Lincoln. It was 23 years ago when we started on our mission to have traditional bowling added as high school sport. It's with great pleasure to officially announce that LPS has added tradtional bowling as a varsity sport this season. Good luck to all those participating and THANK YOU to EVERYONE who believed in this quest. Let the bowling begin Lincoln!!!!
