    Well I'm 17 and just last week i joined a Friday night adult league I'm the youngest one there by 6 years, its a fun league and i really enjoyed my first night. i don't see why joining one would hurt, extra time on the lanes is always a good thing. go try it, if you like the people and atmosphere keep going, if not then find a different league

    I heard if you join an adult league, you can no longer participate in high school sports, or enter any youth tournaments, D:

    In the US if you plan to bowl NCAA you can NOT accept any monetary awards/rewards. However, it can be set up as a scholarship and be legal. If the college you plan to attend is not NCAA sanctioned for bowling (club sport only) then it doesn't matter.

    So, whether it is a fun league or a money league is the million dollar question.

    People expect something for their money. So to accommodate them the alley charges more and gives it back to them at the end of the season.
