Mario's Youth ARE GEARING UP FOR NEW
SEASON
Mario's Youth Tenpin program, a sanctioned bowling 
program with the Canadian Tenpin Federation, is divided into five age groups, 
namely, the PEEWEES who age up to 8 years old; BANTAMS are nine to eleven; 
JUNIORS are 12 to 14; INTERMEDIATES are 15, 16 and 17 and the 
SENIORS who are 18 to 21 year olds.
All of the bowlers also belong to the Youth Bowling Canada.
The NCCP (National Coaches Certification Program) coaches for the program for the new
season include Brian McLean, Linda Cella (Head Coach), Dan Nakonechny, and Bill Graham.
The program runs every Sunday afternoons at Mario's Bowl 
starting September with registration and 
concluding in June with the Awards banquet.
There are numerous tournaments throughout the season. 
All are based on handicap to make all bowlers equal except 
for qualifying for the YBC 4 Steps to Stardom and the 
CTF Provincials. There are even tournaments that include the 
parents.
There is a nominal registration fee for the season which 
entitles the bowler to free shoes whenever he/she goes 
bowling and also a reduced rate for extra bowling times. 
Each week the bowlers pay a weekly 
bowling fee to cover the cost of bowling for the three games. 
For more information on Mario's Youth Tenpin 
program, please call Linda at 577-2615 or come to Mario's 
and ask a staff member. There is even free 
bowling lessons. Call Mario's for the dates and time.
