1. Each high school coach can certify their kids for district competition by going to www.bowl.com/highschool and registering their school and students. This allows them to receive an award for honor scores should they shoot one.

2. Registering the kids on this site covers the entire high school season, which would include any post-season competition beyond the district level.

3. The $5 Basic membership, at this time, does not cover high school bowling.

4. If a student is already certified through a "normal" USBC youth league, they still must be registered through the above web site to get an honor score award if they shoot one in high school competition.

5. We encourage each school coach to register their school and students under your free certification program. What does that entitle the kids to? The USBC High School Team Program entitles the bowlers to honor score awards, Baker 300 award, nomination/application to the Dexter/USBC High school All-American Team and one issue of the Youth Bowler magazine. For the coaches we offer discounts on Dexter shoes, nomination of their athletes to the Dexter/USBC All-American Team and discount on the Fundamentals of Team Coaching certification class by USBC Coaching.

6. Is there any correlation between the High School program and the new $5.00 membership fee program? At this time there is no correlation between the High School membership and ANY paid USBC membership, including the $5 basic membership.

7. What awards are available to kids from the schools that do certify? We offer Baker 300 award, 298, 299 and 300 game awards along with 700 and 800 series awards.

8. If a student is already a fully paid USBC youth member and they shoot a score during high school competition that would entitle them to a youth award, could they get it if their school did not certify them under the High School program? The only way they would earn the USBC Youth award is if the competition was also USBC certified. If it is not, even if they are USBC Youth members, they would not earn the traditional awards.

9. If a student shoots a score during district play that would qualify for an award, what is the process of applying for and receiving that award? The coach would log on to his/her schools account online and click on the Award tab and follow the prompts of adding a new award. The award would then be processed and shipped to the coach.

10. Is there a USBC High School lapel pin? If so, is it available and is it something they would purchase directly from USBC? We do have lapel pins and they can be purchased through the USBC store on bowl.com. They are $20 for a pack of 10 and are not sold separately.

11. Is district competition certified or does it depend on whether the schools involved have certified their kids? Competition is not automatically certified. You must certify each competition either as a tournament or league, if you do this than EVERY bowler would have to become a USBC Youth member. The free High School membership is non-transferable to any traditional certification.

12. We have regional advancement tournaments for both team and singles. Team competition at regional is all Baker format. Can/should that be certified and, if so, how do we accomplish that. We will have 10 regionals this year. The singles regional tournament will be 5 games across 10 lanes. Same question on certification? You can certify all your post-season tournaments through our online Tournament Certification program which can be found through the USBC Rules department.
