Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Things You’ll Need:
- Sign up sheets for league play
Become a Member of a Bowling League
Step1
Utilize the internet to find a bowling league in your city. Web sites for major bowling chains like AMF have search methods for interested bowlers (see Resources below). Search results will often give details about league requirements and fees.
Step2
Print off sign up sheets for league play to distribute throughout your office or residence. If you are team captain, you should include your name and contact information to answer questions about league regulations and the bowling alley.
Step3
Speak with each member of your bowling league team to determine their goals for the upcoming season. You should ask if a particular member has a specific average score they want to achieve or a less specific goal that they want to work toward. Your understanding of each team member's goals is invaluable to ensuring everyone is having fun.
Step4
Consider investing in personal bowling balls, shoes and bags as a team. Personalized equipment can be made with matching colors and fonts to increase teamwork while ensuring comfort during games. Bowling supply stores might offer discounts for a specific league or team purchases.
Step5
Hold a team meeting before beginning league play. As a team captain or leader, you should go over the league schedule, regulations and fees that need to be paid to join the league. Most alleys hold orientations the first night of league play to reinforce this information.
Step6
Speak with friends and family who may want to join your league team as an alternate. Teams will encounter illnesses and schedule conflicts throughout the months that they are playing league games. Alternates can fill in for missing players on short notice.
