Three major youth events, including the United States Bowling Congress Junior Gold Championships, will be conducted in the Detroit metropolitan area in July of 2008. The USBC Junior Gold Championships is the nation's premier competition for high-average youth bowlers and will be conducted for the 11th consecutive year. The event is expected to draw more than 1,700 athletes and their families to the Detroit area.
Two other events will also be conducted in Detroit - the Pepsi USBC Youth Championships, which features a select number of players in all average levels, and the USBC Youth Open Championships, open to any USBC Youth member. "The Metroit Detroit USBC Association has the second most youth members in the country, so these events are a great fit for that area," USBC Chief Officer for Tournaments and Events Roseann Kuhn said. "The Detroit area is also well-known as a strong bowling community, and I'm sure they'll welcome our bowlers with open arms."
The USBC Junior Gold Championships, which will be held July 5-11, 2008, will be conducted in three bowling centers - Century Bowl in Waterford, Sterling Lanes in Sterling Heights and Sunnybrook Bowl in Sterling Heights. The annual adult/youth tournament will be conducted at Taylor Lanes in Taylor, Mich. The USBC Youth Open Championships will be conducted from July 7-15, 2008 at Skore Lanes in Taylor, while the Pepsi USBC Youth Championships will be held from July 14-16, 2008 at Sunnybrook Bowl.
Also in 2008, the Detroit area will host another major event - the USBC Women's Championships, the world's largest participatory sporting event for women. The Women's Championships will be conducted from April 10-July 6 and will be held at Super Bowl in Canton, Mich. All three youth events are being conducted in Buffalo, N.Y., in July this year.
