If you've ever wanted to get more involved in bowling, joining a league at Cordova Lanes is a great way to start. There is a place for you here, regardless of how long you have been bowling. I joined my first league because I wanted a regular night to relax, play and meet people who enjoy the same game. What I found was a friendly group of bowlers who love both the competition and the community that comes with it.

Getting Started with a League

The best way to begin is by visiting the Leagues page. You can view the available sessions there, along with their formats and schedules. Certain leagues are ideal for novices or seniors, while others are mixed. You can create a team if you already have a group. If not, you can enroll independently and the staff can assist you in locating one that fits your schedule and skill level.

Once you decide which league fits your style, check the pricing page to see the weekly fees. Most cover lane time and prize funds. You’ll register through the center and get the start date, rules and contact information for your coordinator. Before the season begins, many leagues hold a short meeting to go over scoring, handicaps and team structure. After that, it’s time to bowl!

Each week, your team competes against another on a set schedule. You’ll track scores, standings and averages as the season goes on. Most leagues use a handicap system so bowlers of all abilities can compete fairly.Teams with the highest points move on to the playoffs or special prize nights at the end of the season.

Making the Most of League Nights

League bowling at Cordova Lanes is as much about fun as it is about performance. Between games, you can grab a meal at Mama Onnie’s, which serves pizza, wings, burgers and other favorites.

Unwind at Shooter’s Bar where you can enjoy drinks, play darts or watch sports on large TVs after your games,

Stop by the Bowler’s Edge Pro Shop if you want to upgrade your gear. The staff can help you find a ball that fits your game, get your shoes fitted or offer maintenance and drilling services. Having the proper setup can make your throw more consistent and keep your game improving week to week.
