Youth League Mailing List

At the request of the bowlers and parents I’ve set up an email list run by Mail Chimp to send updates with Tournament dates and other information of value. This will be a low traffic list.

Any questions can be directed to Coach Patrick.

Winter Leagues have Started

Starting with the Sunday Night Monarchs on August 12th, the 2018-19 Winter Season has started.  You’ll find Adult Leagues starting up every day and the Youth Leagues start September 8th at 9am. You will find every league has space. If one league (too competitive or not competitive enough) isn’t a fit for you, I’m sure we’ll find a league that provides the fun bowling environment you want.

The 2016-17 Yearbook has been posted

All Yearbooks are posted on this page, but we just uploaded the Napa-Sonoma USBC Yearbook of final averages for 2016-17.

NSUSBC 2016-17 Yearbook

Winter Leagues starting soon!

Winter Leagues will start meeting this next month and all bowlers are welcome to come by and join one. Whether by yourself or with a team, the secretaries will find a place for you.

January 2017 Newsletter

First off, we’re a couple weeks into 2017 you’ll be happy to notice this Newsletter didn’t have that typo you know we all catch ourselves doing. Secondly I want to thank the Secretaries for stepping up and submitting awards on time so we can continue to support you.

This Newsletter I wanted to showcase how your support is influencing the youth to bowl better, and yet there was not enough room to list all the awards they’ve been getting as they steadily got better of the course of the season so far. We’ve noted the number who qualified for BVL and who will be bowling in Manteca for State. We’ve talked about the Pepsi Tournament and how our kids are excited to bowl in it in March. But when selecting who to showcase for awards I ended up having to listing just the top Game & Series Awards. As their City Tournament comes up I want to encourage you to come down and cheer them on.

Here is the December Newsletter

I accept all blame for the tardiness of this issue. I’ve had it ready to go, but was too busy to post it.  – Patrick

Happy Holidays from the Association and I hope you are having a wonderful time.

Please remember to submit articles, and all Secretaries to submit honor scores.
