We are one of the largest

LGBTQ+ ally bowling leagues in the entire country and have been in

existence for more than 30 years! Our primary goal is to make sure our

bowlers have a great happy hour type environment each Friday that

celebrates our community. We give back to charity each year, have weekly

themed music nights, Halloween and Christmas events, and a year-end

banquet to celebrate our performances and pride.

No! We accept bowlers of every skill and background, and each person is given a handicap to even out competition. We are an all-inclusive league with the primary goal of having

fun on Friday nights.

We always start the Friday after Labor Day and bowl each Friday until Mid-April. We do take off the holidays of Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years. In total, it is 29 weeks of league bowling.

You would contact your captain to plan for a substitute. We ask that you also make payment arrangements with your captain prior to you being out.

The weekly fee to bowl this year is $28.00. An amount of $10.00 of the $28.00 goes towards a year end prize fund, which every bowler receives, and $18.00 goes directly to the bowling alley for weekly bowling fees.

Each team bowls with 5 bowlers each Friday. You should designate a captain at the start of the season who will be responsible for setting up any schedules and review weekly payments to the bowling alley.

Absolutely, each team has between 5-8 bowlers, so you can ask your friends to join the same team, or if you are an individual bowler, we will place you on a team. If you have at least 5 bowlers, you can form your own team!

If you are an individual bowler who wants to get out for a good time and meet new friends, no problem! Many people in our league have developed lasting strong connections with others in our league. We will place you on a team.

You can be designated as a substitute bowler on a team, but that does not guarantee which weeks you bowl, only that you would fill in if one of the 5 regular bowlers is missing

that week.

YES! We are a sanctioned USBC league, which means we are governed by their rules. Every bowler in the United States in a USBC league does have a separate yearly membership fee. The once-a-year cost for that is $29.00 and allows you to bowl in any

USBC league and gets you special discounts thru their website.
