Youth Sports Program
Mission Statement: It is our belief that the children of our community today
are the cornerstones of tomorrow. It is therefore our mission to provide programs that promote structure, team building,
an opportunity to strengthen family bonds and a means to offer encouragement for personal growth.
Oregon Grand Prix Scholarship Program: We proudly participate in the Grand Prix Scholarship Program. This program
rewards participation in bowling and provides funding for youth that might not otherwise have the opportunity to obtain
scholarships, since most are awarded on the basis of academic achievement and/or athletic skill. Funding is provided
for approved advanced education-college or trade school. Most youth leagues offered at Town & Country Lanes meet
the standards established by the Grand Prix Program and the U.S.B.C. (United States Bowling Congress). To be eligible
you must bowl in a league that is certified through the local U.S.B.C. and must register and pay the annual fee to participate
in the Grand Prix. (The annual fee for U.S.B.C. card currently is $17.00 and the registration and annual fee for
Grand Prix is $5.00.) Youth earn points by participating in house, local and state activities. As mentioned
all scholarships are based on participation. Descriptions below show the points earned for each league or tournament.
