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.

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.

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.
