If you are trying to join a league mid-season we recommend coming out during the league session to meet bowlers in the league. You can look at our league pages for more information about our offerings. Please reach out to Kris Schmelzer if you have any questions – 740-654-4513 or kris.tikilanes@gmail.com.
