Please contact Dave or Karen to sign up prior to the beginning of bowling.  We want to have teams entered into the lanes prior to our first practice!
We will be forming 4 person all athlete teams (no partners again this year).  You may form your own teams or let us assign you to a team.  Please contact Dave or  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 again this year.  If you wish to do both Alpine Skiing and Team Bowling, we will form bowling teams of Alpine skiers.  The Alpine bowling teams may make up bowling as a team during open bowling at Champlain Lanes but must commit to attending the bowling competition on Sunday January 23rd.  If you do not intend to compete Sunday January 23rd, please do not sign up for team 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.
