Youth Bowl Canada to be part of the first Teen Masters North American Championships in Detroit.
Bowl Canada is delighted to announce it has formalized a relationship with Killer “B” Promotions, organizers of the TEEN MASTERS Championships…an exciting North American event offering $50,000 in Scholarships to tenpin bowlers age 19 and under (at Aug. 5th, 2022).
YBC tenpin bowlers will be fielded into the TEEN MASTERS this summer as the event celebrates its 25th Anniversary Championships at Detroit’s historic Thunderbowl Lanes from July 31 – August 5th, 2022.
The TEEN MASTERS began back in 1997 in Akron, Ohio, and since then thousands of teen bowlers have experienced both the challenges and the joys of one of bowling’s most prestigious youth tournaments.
Teens and their families from five continents have traveled to TEEN MASTERS over the years. And with Canada’s inclusion and support, event founder Gary Beck sees his long-term plan beginning to come to fruition.
“Partnering with Bowl Canada is a significant step in formalizing international participation in Teen Masters.” said Beck, who went on to say “Working through its member centers, we will identify Canada’s top teens while inspiring the next generation of competitive youth bowlers.”
In the coming years, contingent on easing travel restrictions and sponsorship, TEEN MASTERS will stage global championships for teen girls and boys representing four regions:
REGION 1: North America, including The United States and Canada;
REGION 2: Latin America, including the Caribbean, Central America, Mexico, and South America;
REGION 3: Europe, plus the Mediterranean and Africa; and
REGION 4: Asia-Pacific and the Middle East.
“Our participation in the TEEN MASTERS Championships is a step in the right direction for our YBC program, and provides an elevated scholarship opportunity for our tenpin YBC members.” reports Bowl Canada President Rod Hennessey. “We’re very pleased to see this relationship develop and look forward to seeing YBC bowlers compete on the international stage this coming summer.”
Details on the Canadian Qualifiers are being worked out in the coming weeks/months with Provincial YBC associations. Watch for more details as they develop.
