As a bowling center owner, how can I become a participating center for the high school bowling program in my area?

First, contact your area's Conference Coordinator who can explain to you how the high school bowling program works and how your center can get involved. If your area does not have a Conference Coordinator, contact someone from the Advisory Board.

Currently, the IBCA dues are $34 per lane bed, per calendar year. BPAA dues are $27 per lane bed, per calendar year. If you are joining the IBCA or BPAA after the calendar year has already started, contact the IBCA office concerning prorated dues rates, 800-424-8962 or toll free at 1-800-424-8962.
