Summer Youth Leagues 2026!
(Registration Open Through June 4th)
We want kids of all ages to learn and enjoy the sport of bowling! We are excited to be bringing back youth leagues this summer! Each week we will focus on a simple aspect of bowling (approach, scoring, league bowling structure, various bowling games, etc.) New this year, adding to our Week 8 Fun Day, we will have an extra hour added to our schedule that final day to include ONE FREE HOUR in our NEW ARCADE!
Youth Leagues will meet on Tuesdays, from Noon - 1pm for the Elementary School League (1st grade through 5th Grade), and Thursdays, from Noon - 2pm for our Middle School League (6th-8th Grades [including incoming high school freshmen]). We will meet every week, (with one week off June 30/July 2) and conclude the 8 week season in the first week of August. Questions regarding the league may be sent to tivbowl@classiccinemas.com.
The important things to know are as follows:
- These leagues are NON-COMPETITIVE. The intention of the Summer Youth Leagues are to have fun, gain experience in a stress-free environment, and to learn basics about the sport.
- These are not USBC-Certified Youth Leagues (as they are non-competitive, and are not coached by USBC-Certified Coaches). We want this to be a FIRST STOP in your bowling journey, and while everyone is welcome, we want everyone to have a good time, and we don't want to pit experienced kids against inexperienced kids. That said, if your child wants a competitive experience, we do know some great centers that offer youth programs more centered on that, and would be happy to point you in that direction.
- We will go over basics like basic lane etiquette, proper ball handling, proper throwing techniques to gain consistency, using the guides on the lane (arrows and dots) to improve your aim, and how the scoring system works.
- No equipment is necessary. If you have your own shoes or ball, that's fantastic and you're welcome to bring it. But we do not require that, as your league payment will include usage of our house balls, shoe rental, lineage, soda and popcorn, etc.
- Bowling is a great athletic activity! Bowling improves your physical health, your social health, and is a fantastic sport to consider for college acceptance and scholarships! Many high schools offer bowling classes and Varsity programs, and learning early gives kids the opportunity to gain access to these social/athletic groups!
- Elementary school league, we require a parent or guardian present during the league. For Middle School league we do not require adults to remain during league time, though you are encouraged to watch and encourage your child at ANY time! (We do have a full menu as well as full bar open for adults at any time, and water and soft drinks are available for the kids!) We also have an arcade room with crane games, video games, pool tables, pinball tables and air hockey. You (optionally) may want to consider this in your budget, as kids do tend to like these games! Many parents find it a great time to get some work done, check email, have a drink or two and just enjoy spending time with their kids in a stress-free environment.
