Looking Back at the History of the
California Young American Bowling Alliance, Inc.

Meritorious Service Award
Each local Association has the opportunity to nominate someone special each year for the Meritorious Service Award. The honoree should be someone who has been active in all phases of youth bowling, not just coaching at the local level. We have many dedicated men and women who have devoted countless hours promoting the youth program. Help us to honor them for their outstanding service in the promotion of youth bowling; Services to the Youth Bowlers of California State and Leadership on the State and/or Local level.
