Youth Bowling Canada (YBC) has brought bowling to hundreds of thousands of youngsters ranging in age from 3 to 19. The YBC was organized in 1964 for young bowlers with the following aims and objectives:
1. To provide an interesting program that would encourage more youngsters to participate in the various games of bowling.
2. To set up a program of crests and awards for the bowlers who achieve certain degrees of skill.
3. To arrange and conduct a series of tournaments and championships that would be interesting and a challenge to all youth bowlers regardless of their skill.
4. To set up a program that would encourage adult bowlers to take a greater interest in youth bowlers and in instructing youngsters in the etiquette, rules and customs of a properly organized and conducted league.
The Ottawa Valley is part of the YBC's youth bowling program in Southern Ontario. Due to Ontario's vast size and population, it is divided into two separate areas: Northern Ontario and Southern Ontario.
Southern Ontario is divided into 16 separate zones. For a complete listing of all 16 zones, and the region each zone covers, please click here. Ottawa, and the surrounding communities in the Ottawa Valley are designated as Zone X. |
