    More than 3,500 student-athletes on 200 college and university intercollegiate bowling teams compete in over 80 certified tournaments each year, and nearly 100 colleges and universities across the country offer bowling scholarships.

    Collegiate bowling has grown in popularity and prestige under College Bowling USA and more recently with the formation of the USBC Collegiate program, bowling's national intercollegiate governing body.

    Those programs include men's and women's teams at the club, National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) and National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA) levels and women's varsity teams with the National Collegiate Athletics Association (NCAA).

    "One appealing aspect of college bowling is that our sport brings together all levels of student-athletes to compete within one umbrella organization known as USBC Collegiate," said USBC Collegiate Manager Gary Brown. "The NCAA, NJCAA, NAIA and club teams are all part of USBC Collegiate membership." USBC Collegiate oversees and conducts the USBC Intercollegiate Team Championships and the USBC Intercollegiate Singles Championships. The country's top 64 men's and top 64 women's collegiate teams compete in regional events for the right to advance to the annual ITC, a nationally-televised tournament. Individual championships are crowned at the annual ISC. USBC Collegiate also works with the National Collegiate Bowling Coaches Association to determine All-American and Academic All-American recognition, Rookie of the Year and Most Valuable Player honors.

    USBC Collegiate oversees and conducts the USBC Intercollegiate Team Championships and the USBC Intercollegiate Singles Championships. The country’s top 64 men’s and top 48 women’s collegiate teams compete in regional events for the right to advance to the annual ITC, a nationally-televised tournament. Individual championships are crowned at the annual ISC. USBC Collegiate also works with the National Collegiate Bowling Coaches Association to determine All-American and Academic All-American recognition, Rookie of the Year and Most Valuable Player honors.

    USBC Collegiate also maintains the eligibility and integrity of club and varsity bowling by certifying and regulating the sport at the collegiate level, and initiates bowling programs that develop athletic and leadership skills that expose college bowlers to a variety of experience.

    The USBC Collegiate program is funded by the United States Bowling Congress and is located at USBC Headquarters in Arlington, Texas. The NCAA, NJCAA and NAIA recognize USBC Collegiate as the sport’s national intercollegiate governing body, the largest organized body for collegiate bowling.

    College bowling: more than just a sport

    College bowling is a rewarding experience that teaches essential skills you can use the rest of your life. As a USBC Collegiate member, you will learn how to communicate effectively with teammates and work as an individual for the larger goals of the team. You’ll build long-lasting friendships and networks that can help you achieve long-term career goals. Collegiate bowling can even be a stepping-stone to the professional ranks, as many of today’s top stars on the Lumber Liquidators Professional Bowlers Association Tour include former collegiate bowlers such as Chris Barnes, Rhino Page, Kelly Kulick, Bill O’Neill, Mike Machuga, Chris Loschetter and Sean Rash as well as current Team USA standouts Lynda Barnes, Diandra Asbaty, Shannon Pluhowsky and Stefanie Nation.

    "The USBC Collegiate program is dedicated to providing collegiate bowling opportunities to enhance students’ academic, athletic and personal development by assisting colleges and universities in implementing bowling programs to ensure pride and enjoyment in the sport," Brown said. "Student-athletes can participate in bowling the rest of their lives as bowling has no age or gender barriers."

    As part of that lifetime sport idea, collegiate competition helps high school bowlers make the transition into the adult ranks as USBC members, furthering their lifelong commitment to the sport. USBC Collegiate and its member schools provide great visibility for the sport by showcasing the best collegiate athletes throughout the nation.

    Future of collegiate bowling

    You’ll find some of our sport’s future stars among today’s collegiate bowlers. Most will graduate with degrees and go on to be leaders and innovators in many different occupations. Many of those student-athletes aspire to bowl at the professional level, yet for every professional or world-class amateur bowler who rose through the college ranks, there is a doctor, a lawyer, a veterinarian, an accountant or a computer technician who applied lessons learned in college bowling to success in life away from the lanes.

    History of College Bowling

    According to an article in the 1947 issue of BOWLING by Paul Gould, the first collegiate bowling competition was held April 8, 1916, almost eight months before the Women’s International Bowling Congress was formed.

    Gould’s article was generated by a letter he received from Cornell University’s Victor Klee, which stated that bowling was recognized as an intercollegiate sport at Yale as far back as 1916. Bill Wyer of Yale organized the first collegiate bowling tournament held in New Haven, Conn., on April 8, 1916. Besides varsity teams from Yale and Lehigh, teams from the Cornell University Interfraternity league, Syracuse University, Stevens Institute Bowling Associations and Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute competed. These colleges became the first charter members of the Intercollegiate Bowling Association, and immediately began planning the second event for 1917 in which competition would expand by at least 11 teams.

    Apparently World War I undermined that first attempt at organized collegiate bowling, as no mention of college bowling appears in any national bowling publications until the early 1940s, when several collegiate tournaments were conducted in the East and Midwest. By the the 1966-67 season, the American Bowling Congress and Women’s International Bowling Congress had their own college bowling programs. ABC and WIBC soon merged their growing programs to form the ABC and WIBC Collegiate Division during the 1977-78 season, installing a Collegiate Division Manager to oversee its operations. Membership peaked during the 1980-81 season as 153 colleges had intercollegiate programs with more than 19,000 individual members.

    When the Young American Bowling Alliance was formed in 1982, it formed the YABA Collegiate Division to incorporate college bowling into its youth division. When college bowling suffered some deterioration over the next several years, YABA implemented the Campus Program to revitalize college bowling, focusing on the recreational side of bowling and cultivating greater awareness of bowling on college campuses. More intercollegiate programs emerged and membership peaked again during the 1990-91 season with 209 college programs and more than 3,000 individual members. During the 1991-92 season, Campus Programs peaked on their own as 71 colleges hosted programs with more than 26,000 individual members.

    By 1993, any college that wished to have an intercollegiate program was also required to have a Campus Program. While Campus Programs doubled as a result, overall individual membership began to fall, causing an erosion of Program funds that threatened the YABA Collegiate Division’s stability.

    Due to lack of resources, the Campus Program was phased out during the 1994-95 season and the YABA assumed overall management of college bowling under general tournaments and events. At the same time, however, a major boost for college bowling occurred in 1994 when the National Collegiate Athletic Association recognized women’s bowling as an emerging sport to help settle federal gender equity issues in college sports, initiating the formation of an industry joint oversight committee that operated college bowling using joint funding from ABC, WIBC and YABA. Thus, during the 1995-96 season, the Intercollegiate Bowling Program was formed. Seeking to align bowling with other college sports and NCAA regulations, The committee expanded to include representatives from organizations like the National Junior College Athletic Association and Association of College Unions International.

    During the 1997-98 season, the Intercollegiate Bowing Program adopted a new look and name—College Bowling USA—to highlight college bowlers as an influential and growing group that serve as an indispensable part of a bowler’s progression from youth to adult ranks. ABC and WIBC enacted legislation to administer College Bowling USA and its championship tournaments, effective by the 1998-99 season, providing an "official" home for college bowling and a true industry commitment with the advent of a new Director of Collegiate Bowling position and an ABC/WIBC-appointed Collegiate Committee to assist in program development.

    By the 2003-04 school year, the NCAA approved women’s bowling as an NCAA championship sport, as the number of women’s collegiate programs exceeded the required 40 for championship sport status. The first NCAA Women’s Bowling National Collegiate Championship was held April 8-10, 2004 at Emerald Bowl in Houston, Texas, with the University of Nebraska taking home the inaugural title.

    With the formation of the United States Bowling Congress on Jan. 1, 2005, College Bowling USA became the USBC Collegiate program.

    USBC Collegiate maintains the eligibility and integrity of intercollegiate bowling while providing certification and regulation of varsity bowling at the collegiate level. USBC Collegiate also provides assistance and leadership in implementing bowling programs, securing the opportunity for student-athletes to compete in the sport and achieve athletic and academic excellence.

    Prior to the 2003-04 season, USBC Collegiate (formerly know as College Bowling USA), along with the support of ABC and WIBC, announced the creation of the Intercollegiate Singles Championships (formerly the Collegiate Singles Championships) to be held at the completion of the collegiate bowling season. The event replaced the Association of College Unions International Men’s and Women’s National Championships and features the top 24 male and top 16 female collegiate bowlers in the country competing for national singles titles.

    Beginning with the 2003-04 season, qualifying for the USBC Intercollegiate Singles Championships takes place as a side event at the Team Championships’ sectional qualifying tournaments. Bowlers at each of the four sectional events bowl six games of singles competition, with the top four men and top four women advancing to the national event. Competition at the national level includes eight games of qualifying to determine seeding, followed by best-of-five bracket-style match play.

    You may know that when you step over the foul line in bowling and deliver the ball down the lane, you have committed a foul and get zero for that shot. But did you know that if you cross the line but don’t let go of the ball, it’s not considered a foul? That and hundreds of other rules for the sport of bowling are the responsibility of the United States Bowling Congress. As the sport’s national governing body, the USBC maintains bowling's integrity by consistently interpreting and enforcing the playing rules for USBC league and tournament competition. By helping bowlers, association leaders, tournament managers, league officers and others understand the rules of the sport, USBC ensures for us that play is fair so we can enjoy it more. Those efforts also allow USBC leagues and tournaments to run more smoothly.

  •   NCAA

    NCAA Women’s Bowling

    As the number of women’s collegiate programs exceeded the required 40 for National College Athletic Association championship sport status, the NCAA officially recognized women’s bowling as a championship sport in the 2003-04 season. The NCAA originally granted Women’s bowling "emerging sport" status on Sept. 1, 1994 to help institutions provide greater opportunities for female student-athletes in athletics and to comply with Title IX guidelines and requirements for revenue distribution, minimum financial aid awards, minimum sports-sponsorship and player distribution numbers.

    The Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference was the first to secure NCAA sanctioning for women’s bowling by adopting the sport prior to the 1996-97 school year. The MEAC includes such schools as Coppin State University, Howard University, South Carolina State University and the University of Maryland-Eastern Shore. Former University of Nebraska standout Jennifer Daugherty became the first woman to receive a full-ride athletic scholarship when the Cornhuskers added women’s bowling to their athletic program prior to the 1997-98 school year.

    Bowling joined rowing, ice hockey and water polo as women’s sports that have been elevated to NCAA championship sport status since the adoption of emerging sport legislation for women. In the 2008-09 season, nearly 60 schools offered women’s bowling at the varsity level—all vying to advance to the cross-divisional NCAA National Collegiate Women’s Bowling Championship.

    The first NCAA National Collegiate Women’s Bowling Championship was held April 8-10, 2004 at Emerald Bowl in Houston, Texas. The University of Nebraska won the first two national championships, with Fairleigh Dickinson breaking through and winning this title in 2006.

    USBC Collegiate remains dedicated to assisting the NCAA and their member institutions in implementing varsity bowling opportunities. This process includes continuing the education of university administrators, athletics personnel, prospective student-athletes and the general public of the benefits to having a varsity bowling program on their campus.

    NCAA Women’s Bowling National Champions:

    • 2004 – University of Nebraska
    • 2005 – University of Nebraska
    • 2006 – Fairleigh Dickinson University
    • 2007 – Vanderbilt University
    • 2008 - University of Maryland-Eastern Shore

    More than 140 institutions offer competitive bowling programs at the junior college, NAIA and club sport levels for women. These programs have an opportunity to compete in any of more than 80 regional and national tournaments held throughout the season. In addition, these teams can qualify for the USBC ITC.

  • National Junior College Athletic Association Logo  NJCAA National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA)

    The National Junior College Athletic Association is the governing body of intercollegiate athletics for two-year colleges. Its programs are designed to meet the unique needs of a diverse group of student-athletes who come from both traditional and non-traditional backgrounds and whose purposes in selecting a junior college may be as varied as their backgrounds. Men’s and women’s bowling programs within the NJCAA member schools have been functioning since the 1970s. This level of competition is exclusive to two-year junior and community colleges, with logical progression for many of these athletes to four-year institutions.

    The NJCAA also hosts its own separate national championships each year. Most, if not all, NJCAA guidelines are conducive to current USBC Collegiate guidelines. However, there may be various NCAA eligibility issues, which need to be addressed for female student-athletes looking to transfer at some time from a two-year program to a four-year institution. Initial questions may need to be researched through the normal NCAA Eligibility Clearinghouse process, USBC Collegiate’s Varsity Bowling Guide, Varsity Player and Coaches’ Guide or through a prospective four-year academic institution.

The organization also places importance on providing equal opportunities for all student-athletes.

    The NAIA currently has 11 championship sports for men and 10 for women. Men’s championship sports are: cross country, football, soccer, basketball (two divisions), swimming and diving, indoor track and field, wrestling, baseball, golf, tennis and outdoor track and field. Women’s championship sports are: cross country, tennis, soccer, volleyball, basketball (two divisions), swimming and diving, indoor track and field, golf, softball and outdoor track and field.

    Two-time Team USA member John Szczerbinski of Wichita State and women's regular season average leader Jenn Boisselle of Central Florida were among the players who qualified Friday for the 2010 United States Bowling Congress Intercollegiate Singles Championships.

    The USBC Intercollegiate Singles Championships, which will be held May 17-18 at AMF Euless Lanes in Euless, Texas, features 32 of the top male and female collegiate bowlers in the country competing for national titles.

    Qualifying for the national finals was held Friday at four Sectional Qualifier sites: Allentown, Pa.; Chattanooga, Tenn.; Peoria, Ill., and Las Vegas. All participants bowled six games with total pinfall determining final standings. The top four finishers in each division (male and female) at each Sectional Qualifier site advance to the 2010 USBC Intercollegiate Singles Championships.

    Szczerbinski, who had the third highest average among collegiate bowlers in the regular season, advanced through the Peoria sectional with 1,372 (228.6 average). Stephen Conn of Bellarmine was second, Sean Rangel of William Penn took third, while Justin Thompson of Kansas grabbed the fourth and final spot.

    In Chattanooga, Lindenwood's EJ Parks took the top spot with a 1,344 total. He was followed by Joel Klaas of Purdue, Joe Steiner of Saginaw Valley State and Logan Mills of Michigan.

    Coming out of the Allentown sectional was Penn State-Berks' Ryan Wyandt, who led with 1,343. Kyle Keegan of Rochester Tech took second, while Jacob Kent of Erie Community College was third and David Gerhart of Rochester Tech was fourth.

    Michael Snell of Nebraska-Lincoln finished first in Las Vegas with 1,307. Christopher Bardol of Robert Morris-Illinois was second, Brandon Allred of UNLV finished third and Casey Albert of UC-Davis took fourth.

    On the women's side, Boisselle helped Central Florida take three of the top four spots in Chattanooga with a 1,262 total. Samantha Macina was second, while Kaidee Sutphin was fourth. Lindenwood's Amanda Greene was third.

    Danielle Knittle of Penn State-University Park won the qualifying in Allentown with 1,212. Kimberly Yioulos of Pikeville was second and was followed by a pair of Webber International Bowlers, Jessica Santiago and Stephanie Martins.

    In Peoria, Christina Oschman of Bellarmine led the field with 1,305 and was followed by Erin McCarthy of Nebraska-Lincoln, Erin Chambers of Robert Morris-Peoria and Lori Hanken of McKendree.

    Heather D'Errico of Robert Morris-Illinois shot 1,284 for the top spot in Las Vegas. Dori Jaffess of Arizona State was second, Esther Cheah of Nebraska-Lincoln was third and Brittney Hendrickson of Fresno State earned the last spot.

    At the national finals, all 16 participants in each division bowl eight games to determine seeding for the match play competition. In match play, participants compete in a best-of-five, single-elimination bracket, with winners in each division being crowned national champions of the 2010 USBC Intercollegiate Singles Championships.

  • Kerm Helmer Coach of the Year

    The NCBCA Coach of the Year was first awarded following the completion of the 2000-01 season. The award was re-named in 2003 to the NCBCA Kerm Helmer Coach of the Year Award in honor of longtime Erie Community College coach Kerm Helmer, who lost his battle with cancer on Oct. 20, 2002. The awards are determined by selecting five finalists in each of the divisions by a committee of NCBCA member coaches. Members of the NCBCA decide on the final selection.
