I got back into league bowing this summer after a 15 year break
Monday nights: youth/adult - 10 teams
we have kids as young as 6 and as old as 17, I would guess the average age for the kids to be 12
At 45 I think I'm the oldest, I would guess the average age for the adults to be late 30s
This house has been around for 30+ years. The decor is a bit dated, but they keep the place clean and in good repair. Lighting is decent through out the entire house.
The owner really cares about his league bowlers and the sport in general.
Wednesday night: adult mixed, 14 teams
age range 16 to mid 70's (just a wag) average age around early 20s
a lot of young high rev strike or open guys.
This house has was remodeled about 8 years ago, has an atmosphere to attract families and teens. The entire house is well lite during league play.
This is 1 of 4 centers owned by the same group. Friendly staff, and they draw a good crowd of open bowlers as well as a lot of good sized leagues.
Thursday night: adult mixed, 6 teams
age range 17 to 95 (yes 95 is not a typo)
the core of this league are early 30s couples
This house was built about 5 years ago by the guy who owns the house we bowl at on Mondays and run by his kids and grand kids. Again they really care about the sport and bowlers. The lanes are split into two areas of the building. 16 lanes were the leagues are held and open bowling is tastefully done and very modern. My only knock would be the lighting. The lanes are well lite as is the back part of the settee, but over the ball return and front of the settee there are no lights, so its kinda dim there. The other set of 12 lanes is always going with "Thunder" ally. Music, smoke, black light.............. The snack bar, restrooms, arcade, etc, separate the two lane areas, so there is no disturbance to league bowlers from those having fun in Thunder ally.
