We invited USBC bowlers of all ages from across the United States to tell us why they certify. For these bowlers and so many like them, bowling certified is about much more than paying dues so they can bowl in tournaments. It’s their way of saying I’m for bowling.
Everything we do at USBC we do to ensure a future for our sport—and certified bowlers make it possible. Take a moment to hear some of their inspiring stories—and if you’re for bowling, consider joining them by becoming a certified bowler today.
In the past, we also used the term “sanctioned.” Today, any dues-paying bowler becomes a member of USBC and can proudly call themselves a certified bowler. If you’ve noticed us using the word “certified” more lately, that’s because we believe it does a great job of communicating what USBC is all about.
Everything we do, we do to ensure a future for the sport.
We create and uphold the rules to maximize safety and fair play.
We inspect and certify the lanes, the balls, the pins, and the products that ensure an optimal experience for the greatest number of players.
We provide training, scholarships, and support so that anyone who wants to excel at bowling has the opportunity.
We cover the sport from every angle—on BowlTV, in print, and online—offering insight and visibility into how the game is played.
And we make the thrill of competition possible, to the tune of 14,000 tournaments each year, certifying scores and preserving every certified bowler’s place in history for generations to come.
What we do at USBC isn’t easy, but it’s very simple: Every day, in every way, we champion players and fair play to ensure a Future for the Sport.
And certified bowlers make it possible.
