Youth Programs

Wallenpaupack Bowling Center
Youth Programs:
Here at WBC we are dedicated to providing our young people with a fun activity that will help them mature into well centered adults, as they learn to deal with the frustrations (and joys) of bowling.  Our staff of eight USBC certified coaches, under the direction of Matthew Tardona, are always on hand to give instruction and help your child improve his or her bowling skills.


Programs

 League/Division  Age Group*  Day Time   Bumpers?
 Pee Wees  3-7  Sat  11:00 am Yes
 Juniors  7-12  Sat  9:00 am  No
 Seniors  12-18  Sat  1:30 pm  No
 After-School  7-18  Tue  4:00 pm  No
 Youth Leaders**  7-18  Sun  Various  No

*In some cases, division placement may be determined by a child's ability rather than age.

**The Youth Leader program runs in conjunction with our regular league programs.  This is a regional program, in which teams are chosen from the youth leagues in each of the centers in the Anthracite Valley Bowling Association, to compete against each other.  There is some traveling involved, as the events are held in different centers so no one center's teams have an advantage.  Carpooling is normally available.  What makes this program so special is that it is organized and run by the young people themselves, from the planning stages to the financial aspects, through to the end of season banquets and trophies.  It is a great learning experience for them.

Expenses-How Much Will It Cost?

 Bowling  $11.00 Per week per child ($6.75 for bowling and $4.25 for the trophy/banquet fund)
 Sanction  $13.00 This is a one time yearly membership fee to join the USBC (United States Bowling Congress), and is required for all youth league bowlers
 Ball, Shoes, & Other Equipment Optional  House equipment (balls and rental shoes) is available at no extra cost.  However, we strongly recommend that if your child becomes serious about bowling, you should visit our pro shop and have your child properly fitted for a ball and shoes.
