THUNDER BAY JUNIORS ARE GEARING UP FOR NEW
SEASON
The Thunder Bay Junior 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 McLean, Linda Cella (Head Coach), Dan Nakonechny, Kit Busby, Sandra Wojciechoski, Bill Graham, Di Nakonechny, Mika Vanhalpelto, Tony Russo and Jeff Foster.
The program runs every Sunday morning 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.
The registration fee for the season is $40.00 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, except the PeeWees, pay a weekly
bowling fee to cover the cost of bowling for the three games.
PeeWees bowl only two games and pay just for the two games, those over 14 play 4 games.
