The Old Dominion Youth Bowlers Tour has been a long-term vision of Bowl America Southwest manager and youth director, James Washington, Jr. For the 2026-27 season, there will be eight tour stops throughout Virginia, culminating in a weekend-long bowling event.
The Tour provides youth bowlers with the opportunity to participate in local tournaments throughout Virginia. Competitors will face challenging oil patterns in various tournament formats while earning scholarships for post-secondary education. Scholarships are awarded through the USBC-administered SMART program.
We're here to help! If you have any questions or difficulty registering for the tournament, please reach out to James Washington.
