Last year’s inaugural Free Tenpin Bowling Week for Schools was a phenomenal success, with almost 20,000 kids taking part across the country.
This year sees the return of free bowling, open to all schools for an entire week, starting Monday November 10th and running up to and including Friday November 14th. What’s more, the top teams from across the country will come together on December 3rd for the Grand Final, with the chance to be crowned Schools Champions 2014.
With over thirty bowling centres participating nationwide, free bowling is open to all schools, all you have to do is find your nearest participating centre (using our Find A Centre Map on this site) and get in touch to book lanes for your class/school. It’s really that simple!
This free schools week is all about getting involved and having fun, but the competitive edge makes it even more interesting for the kids as they will want to get the better of their schoolmates and make that Grand Final.
Kicking on from the success of last year, the initiative hopes to get kids interested in a sport which is not only fun but also terrific exercise. We also hope that in this crop of youngsters we could find the next generation of bowlers who could go on to even represent Ireland bowling teams in the future. Who knows, we could even uncover some future National champions!
We will also be on social media throughout the week, so keep an eye out for our Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/irishtenpinbowlingassociation) and Twitter (https://twitter.com/ITBAofficial) links for even more coverage.
So make sure to book your class/school in early to avoid missing out on this exciting initiative, and get your kids involved in a fun, healthy, competitive sporting activity this November.
