Youth Tournaments at Sleeping Giant Lanes


Purpose: For youth and U20 Adult athletes to experience a high level of competition on a regular basis at the individual level on challenging oil conditions in a variety of centers. For youth and U20 Adult athletes to meet other athletes from around the state of MT and border states, make friends and experience positive sportsmanship. For youth athletes to learn more about the game of bowling and how leagues are run. 

 

Is your athlete ready: Athletes must have the ability to bowl 6 games in a 3-hour time frame plus potentially more games if they advance to finals. There is no minimum average requirement, however I encourage athletes with lower averages who want to try travel league to have the mindset that they are there to learn, get better, and make friends, not necessarily win. If you do not know if your athlete is ready talk to coaches or other athletes who bowl in the Big Sky Tour or ask Terri.  

Eligibility: All Youth bowlers and U20 Adult Bowlers(Born 8/1/2004 or Later) who have completed SafeSport

Cost: Stops 1-8 = $45 per stop, Stop 9 = $55

Registration - Call/Email Text Terri Name of Athlete, Bday, Gender or go to bigskybowlingtour.com to rsvp. You can also walk-in to any of the first 8 stops on Sunday morning and register.

   

Dress Code – Goal of this dress code is to prepare bowlers for tournament competition in which a professional athletic dress is standard. Appropriate bowling competition attire must be worn (knee length cargo or walking shorts are allowed but no basketball shorts or yoga pants and skirts must be longer than fingertip length), no hats. Youth participants shall not wear apparel or use bowling equipment depicting alcohol, tobacco, gambling, an illegal substance, or inappropriate language/gestures during competition. All final decisions regarding attire will be at the discretion of the league officers and the adult league advisor. Any violation will follow penalty protocol. All Junior Gold Qualifier competitors will dress according to the Junior Gold dress code.​

18-20 Year-Old and older Athletes: Must complete the free U.S. Center for SafeSport online education program in to compete with participants under the age of 18. Bowlers who turn 18 during this league season will have to complete the training before the next Big Sky Tour Event upon turning 18. Minor athletes are also able to take SafeSport but not required.
