West Regional Bowling
2023-10-21 09:00 - 14:00 | Centennial Lanes, 2400 Vine St, Hays, KS, 67601, United States
Registration information will be sent to local programs in early fall.
NEW! We are trying a different participation policy for the West Region Bowling tournament on October 21st. Athletes in communities where there is not currently a local program can register and compete as an individual. This is on a trial basis only for this event. It is our hope that through this process we will provide opportunities to athletes who otherwise wouldn’t be able to participate and ideally be the stepping stone to forming programs in new communities.
Steps to register as an individual:

Complete this online interest form so that we have you on the list to receive the registration information in the fall.
Complete an athlete registration form/medical packet. Download here
You will complete the official event registration form that will be emailed to you at a later date.

Contact Brent Kaiser at kaiserb@soks.org or 785-301-8214 for more information.
