    • NO experience is necessary.  
    • Our varsity team has finished first in the Central Suburban League 5 out of the last 6 seasons!
    • Our 2021-22 varsity squad finished 15th overall in the IHSA state tournament...  Our 2024-25 finished 23rd!  (out of over 200 teams in the state).  None of these bowlers had prior experience!
    • There are over 200 college programs with scholarships available.
    • If you don't have a winter sport, this might be the right opportunity for you!
