How many of you remember or were a member of Y.A.B.A. when you were younger?
Some of my best memories of bowling were in our local lanes every Sat. morning bowling with all my friends from school, recruiting other people from my school, going to State tournaments, etc.. We used to have a huge awards picnic at the end of every year, we got trophys for best game, series, average, teams, everything. My mom ran the leagues, and she would set up a thing where if you got perfect attendance you would get a new bowling ball every year, it was great. I do miss those days.
How do you remember your early bowling days?

Yep I was in the Saturday morning leagues also! Got quite a few trophies from those youth leagues, recruited friends to my teams, all nice memories. My Dad would always take me and give me pointers like "aim for a spot, not for a pin" which was great advice!
This was back in the early to mid 1980s.

Does Y.A.B.A. still exist? I remember I was a member when I was 14 or 15 (8 or 9 years ago).
I started in 84, was in it up until I was 16-17. My high school didn't have a bowling team, so I didn't go much further with it even though I was good. I also hit this wall around that time which made me kind of hate bowling, even though the problem was my own attitude.
I don't think YABA is around anymore, I think it's USBC Youth bowling now.
I think Y.A.B.A was around when I was 12 (1995). If it wasn't Y.A.B.A, it is the current youth bowling program. Good times. I threw a backup ball and still have my personal High Game Pin of 169. My team came in first too. We had a guy that was just awesome...averaged around 200. I think my average was around 100-110.
Bowling - it's easy when you understand all the physics beneath the surface.
High game - 300
High league game - 290 x3
High series - 802
I started bowling when I was around 6 years old. The league was called the Pee Wee Preps. It was lots of fun. I don't know my average but I do remember popping a 178 for my high game back then.
chris those were good times, your mom taught me how to bowl. Always took me and blake every saturday morn to league and tournaments
