Question about church leagues

[ArtVandelay]

Get a team from each denomination and tell them whoever wins is right.....?

Thats what I would do....

Youth/Adult league for $10? Who is going to pay for the soda and pizza? On an average, most bowling centers lineage fees are around $10. This fee is for an individual to bowl 3 games. Then you have to additional money if you want prize money, food/drinks, etc. Talk with someone at the bowling center regarding lineage fee for a non-sanctioned league. Then start figuring out if you want to add food/drinks & shoes.

As far as summer leagues. If you want to start a church league, consult with the members to see what works best. I'm assuming Sunday during the day won't work, but maybe later in the evening, like 5pm? This will give people time to get home and relax before the work week starts.

Our normal summer league fee is $10. Our sanctioned leagues, including lneage, are $12 & $13. That includes prize fund, secretary fees, etc. Naturally before finalizing anything I would need the owner's stamp of approval. To help keep costs down I would run the league myself and the alley during that time so it would save him labor cost too.

At this point shouldn't u just live in the back to save yourself money on a regular rent/mortgage when sleep is probably the only time your home more than bowling lol

I bowl in a ten team church league on Tuesday night.
The only thing we say is only water or sodas at league.
As far as the price fund goes we take what every funds we have and donate it to a local charity at the end of each season.
We have received some very nice thank you letters from the the different charities we have donated to.
We also do a quick league pray before each league night begins.
There is at this point one church that has two teams, but the roster has to be set at the beginning of the year, so one team can not be loaded up, when they are bowling a tough lineup/team.
I ended up getting invited to bowl on Thursday night by one of the league members, and we have since got about 7 guys from the church league bowling in what can only be called a NON-church league, but still have a great time in both leagues.

Thank you all for the input. I really want to increase our league members and get more of a family atmosphere at the lanes.

Between work and bowling I am pretty much only home to shower and sleep. It's gotten so bad at times, like this past Thursday and Friday, that I even forgot to eat. I realized it Saturday after youth leagues when I was practicing and almost passed out. When I told my wife she said she just assumed I ate at the bowling alley and confirmed I ate nothing at home those days. Good thing she is a facebook junkie and doesn't mind me bowling every day.
