Iowa Pepsi USBC Youth Championships

The Pepsi USBC Youth Championships is a unique event which features league, center, district and state level competition leading up to the international finals. All USBC Youth members are eligible to bowl at the league qualifying level with a chance to advance. There is no additional cost to enter at the league level, only a one-time entry fee for all succeeding levels.

Based on age, handicap competition at the Pepsi USBC Youth Championships is 100 percent of 210, giving bowlers of all ages and skill levels the opportunity to experience competition at the highest level. The Youth Championships also has become a stepping stone to encourage new young athletes to become involved in tournament competition.

Qualifying competitions are held in six divisions based on age as of Aug. 1: Boys and Girls Handicap, ages 11 and under; Boys and Girls Handicap, ages 12 and above; Boys and Girls Scratch, ages 12 and above. Qualifying begins at the league level with two one-week windows between Oct. 1 and Nov. 30 when bowlers have an opportunity to qualify for district competition. At the district level, bowlers compete for the right to advance to the state competition. From there, scratch bowlers can earn a bid to the Junior Gold Championships.
