2010 Team Bowling Practice

Chittenden's team bowling practice will begin on Sunday November 22, 2009 starting at 11:00 am at Champlain Lanes, 2630 Shelburne Road, Shelburne.

The team bowling tournament will be held on Sunday January 24, 2010 at Twin City Lanes in Berlin.

Coaches: Karen & Dave Bogdan - 865-3840
Andrew Patch - 363-7268

We will be forming 4 person all athlete teams (no partners this year).  You may form your own teams or let us assign you to a team.  Please contact Program Coordinator Karen Bogdan at 865-3840 or kraze1@comcast.net to pre-register and let us know your team preference! 

Unfortunately, the team bowling schedule conflicts with Alpine Skiing so if you are skiing, you will have to skip bowling.

NOTE: All athletes MUST have a current medical on file PRIOR to the start of practice or you will not be allowed to start practice!  If you are not sure your medical is current, please contact Karen Bogdan at 865-3840.
