League Nights

LET THE GOOD TIMES BOWL!

Bowling League Season will be 14 weeks total and start May 12th - to early August

Each league session begins at 6 p.m., allowing teams to get their shoes, lane assignments, and warm up. Three head-to-head games will be played every night.

Our leagues are meant to be social and competitive but are non-sanctioned. We will still report, track, and use scores and handicaps for each night.

LEAGUE NIGHTS FOR THIS SEASON

MONDAY, TUESDAY, and WEDNESDAY

With summer approaching, the Thursday Night Music series downtown kicks off, making it challenging to have league play. Sunday morning or evening can be an option if the demand is there for another day.

Current Thursday players will have first priority for filling in spots on other days!

SCORES AND HANDICAPS

Gilroy Bowl and staff will handle all match scheduling, lane assignment, scores, handicap management, and league standings. Handicaps will allow a fun and fair competitive atmosphere for all bowler skill levels.

Handicaps will be assed after first week if you don’t already have one.

TEAMS & SUBS

Teams of 4 will compete against one another. If a bowler from your team can’t make it, we encourage you to send a friend to sub.

Scoring for Sub Players >

Players with Handicaps: If a sub has an existing handicap at Gilroy Bowl from another league night, they can more easily be activated for that night, and we will use their existing handicap for your team. Please inform us of any subs immediately upon arrival.

Non Handicap Players: These players are considered Pacers. They are essentially bowling for fun in your place. If you have a non-handicap sub or pacer, the recorded score for the league will be the average of the player they replaced, minus 10 pins.

PAYMENT & FEES

After feedback from our previous league members, we have decided to split the season payments into two. The cost for the full 14 weeks is $280 ($20 each night for 3 games) and includes shoes, balls, and Gilroy Bowl staff league administration and service.

Payment 1 due by 5/12/25:

$140 first payment is due to ensure your spot.

Payment 2 due in week 7 of league:

$140 second and final payment will be made on week 7.

PRIZES

Pizza Party: Gilroy Bowl will provide complimentary pizzas on day 1 and during the last game of league play for all nights.

Trophies, prize money, and the distribution and accounting of funds beyond our league fees must be handled by a volunteer or appointed person by your league night members.

TEAM NAMES & UNIFORMS

We encourage teams to come up with fun names and uniforms.
