2013 Team Bowling Practice

TEAM BOWLING

Chittenden's team bowling practice will begin on Sunday December 9th, 2012 starting at Champlain Lanes, 2630 Shelburne Road, Shelburne.  The time will be at 3:00 PM for the first two weeks and then at 10:00 AM for the remaining practices:

12/09/12 - 12/16/12  3:00 PM
12/23/12 - 01/27/13 10:00 AM

The team bowling tournament will be held on Sunday February 3, 2013 at Twin City Lanes in Berlin.

Please contact Dave or Karen Bogdan at 865-3840 or kraze1@comcast.net if you want to bowl so that we may form teams and have the lanes all set up prior to the first practice.  

We will be forming 4 person all athlete teams (no partners again this year). Remember, this is a team sport and your team will be at a disadvantage at the competition if anyone is absent. Therefore, everyone must commit to competing on Sunday February 3rd!  

Unfortunately, the team bowling schedule conflicts with alpine skiing and snowboarding again this year.  If you wish to do both alpine skiing or snowboarding 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 February 3rd.  If you do not intend to compete Sunday February 3rd, please do not sign up for team bowling.
