CSYABA

The California State Junior Bowling Association was organized in Fresno, 1965 under the leadership of Mr. Herb Hoff.  This entity was then reorganized on October 10, 1982 into the California State Young American Bowling Alliance, Inc. This organization has developed itself with the changing times of the century, creating many scholarship opportunities through awards and tournaments to help the future of our sport, which starts with the youth. Education is very important and with our help and your help, these youth will have a multitude of opportunities to pursue their college education while participating in the growing sport of BOWLING!! The last convention was held in San Diego in 2006.

The California Youth Leaders Association (CYLA) was formed back in 1985. This group of youths serve as a direct channel of communication between USBC youth bowlers and the California USBC Association. This organization also serves to train members in the operations and administrations of the California USBC Association; assist adult association officers and directors wherever possible; promote youth bowling through membership drives, serving as student coaches, conducting training programs; and instructs timely projects to further the growth and interest in youth bowling.

CSYABA Meritorious Service Award
Each local Association has the opportunity to nominate someone special each year for the Meritorious Service Award. The honoree should be someone who has been active in all phases of youth bowling, not just coaching at the local level. We have many dedicated men and women who have devoted countless hours promoting the youth program. Help us to honor them for their outstanding service in the promotion of youth bowling; Services to the Youth Bowlers of California State and Leadership on the State and/or Local level.
