Month: May 2016

Congratulations to Alex Evans for placing first in the Pepsi – U12 Boys division this year!  Alex, who bowls in leagues at King Pins Bowling Center and Bowl America Orange Park (and the Travel League), is a repeat winner in this tournament and will be recognized at the Annual Meeting this June in Ocala.  Great Job!

Below is a list of bowlers from the First Coast USBC that placed in the top 20% of each division.  (Note: Scholarships are awarded to the top 10%, which are now displayed with official results online at http://fsusbcy.com/Tournaments/PEPSI)

The next Youth Leaders meeting will be held at 2pm on Sunday, May 29th, at Bowl America Southside.  All members of the Youth Leaders (and anyone wanting to join) should attend.  The tentative topics are:

• Review City Tournament feedback
• Review Coaches Memorial feedback
• Review Challenge Tournament feedback
• Discuss upcoming officer elections (to be held in June) and distribute “intent to run” forms

For more information, visit the Youth Leaders page and/or contact a coach or Youth Leader member at your bowling center.

Did you know that the Jacksonville Jr. Bowling Tour awarded $6,667 in scholarships this past season?  Just last weekend, the Tournament of Champions awarded $2,700 in scholarships — plus 3 Junior Gold entries!

Curious to know how many bowlers participated in the JJBT events this year, who had the highest scores, or who won in multiple months?  Check out the JJBT page to see the May Newsletter.

Save the First Coast USBC Youth website as a “favorite”, and check back often for news & announcements!

First off, we’d like to apologize for the website being down recently.  Long story short, the website (and all contents) was deleted.  The good news is we saw this as an opportunity to improve the website layout and functionality.

While we painstakingly work to add back critical content, here are just a few of the new enhancements to the First Coast USBC Youth website:

• A simplified, more professional appearance / color scheme
• “Posts” for new announcements (this being the first one!), accessible on every page of the site.
• Consolidated e-mail address for articles/updates to be submitted to.
• More emphasis on recognition — will you be featured on the “Spotlight” page?

How can we make this website better? We welcome your feedback!
