Last season, due to COVID, the leagues were only just starting at this point in the season.

If you are feeling ready, bowling is ready for you.

Almost every league at Riverwood Lanes has started, but that doesn’t mean it’s too late to participate… far from it. The search for sponsors, additional team members, substitutes, young bowlers, etc. continues.

REMEMBER: It’s almost NEVER too late to join a bowling league!

My goal this week is the Mid-MI Travel league (scratch). (Scratch says this league has no handicaps to even out the differences in bowling ability. What you play is what you get! This unique league plays once a month on Sundays in a different city every month at Starting Sunday, September 26. COMPLETE A TEAM COUPLE The scheduled teams, bowling centers and Sunday date played in this center.
