Welcome to our New Site

Last week our website was hacked, and the damage was so great that we needed to remove and delete the complete site. Of course we could have gone back and reinstalled from some of our backups, but without knowing when the files that allowed the hackers in were loaded to the site, the decision was made to start over fresh. Our service provider could not supply us with the log files required to trace this out, so we are now hosted with a new service provider. We lost over six years of material, and now we need to rebuild the site from scratch.

However, this created a new opportunity for us at Bowlers Connection, we get to start over and create something new, different and hopefully exciting for the bowling community.

Stay tuned!

USBC to Host International Coach Training Seminar

In another step to bolster the number of quality coaches worldwide, the United States Bowling Congress will host nearly 20 notable names in bowling from around the world in a week-long International Coach/Instructor Training seminar at USBC Headquarters in suburban Milwaukee on Feb. 12-16.

This seminar is a continuation of USBC’s effort to assist in the creation of an international coach training program and enhance the strength of federations within bowling’s world governing body, the Federation Internationale des Quilleurs.

The newly trained coaches will certify USBC coaches in their home countries and regions who in turn will develop more high-level bowlers. Those athletes will increase the level of bowling competition around the world, which will help reach the ultimate goal of securing a place for bowling in the Olympic Games. [Read more]
