2009 California Pepsi
Championships
Welcome to the 2009
California Pepsi USBC Youth Championships.
The two league level qualifying windows are NOVEMBER 1-14,
2008 &
JANUARY 17-30, 2009. Every youth bowler should be given their FREE chance to qualify.
Last year California awarded $70,000 in scholarships and only half
of
the centers in California with youth programs participated. Every center can make a
tremendous difference and YOUR youths deserve a chance at this great
opportunity! The Pepsi Championships will be conducted in six
(6) divisions: Boys’ 11-Under Handicap, Girls’ 11-Under Handicap,
Boys’ 12-Up Handicap, Girls’ 12-Up Handicap, Boys’ 12-Up Scratch,
Girls’ 12-Up Scratch. The 11-under division bowlers will earn
scholarships at the District Finals (March 2009) and the 12-up division bowlers will earn
scholarships at the State Finals (May 2-3, 2009 at
CLASSIC BOWL in DALY CITY – SPORT BOWLING CERTIFIED*).
The final top four scratch bowlers (2 boys & 2 girls) will earn
berths into the 2009 USBC Jr. Gold National Finals (Indianapolis,
IN). There will no longer be a Pepsi National Finals.
For the
9th year in
a row,
www.BowlersParadise.com will be sponsoring this event along with Elite Bowling,
www.elitebowling.com.
Both will be donating items for our fundraising raffle at the
district and state finals sites, helping us to raise more
scholarship dollars. We would also like to thank
Brunswick and
Pin Point Bowling Concepts (located inside AMF Beverly
Bowl) for their bowling ball donations.
Digital Team Photography will also be taking individual
photos at the State Finals, in which a percentage of all proceeds will be
donated to this year's scholarship fund. Please support these
sponsors and help us THANK to them for their generous contributions
and support!
Thank you for your support and
participation in the largest scholarship event in California. Last
year we worked extremely hard with your help in raising funds so
that we could award $70,000 in scholarships! With the rising cost of
education, this tournament strongly benefits many young bowlers on
their way to a promising future. Good luck to everyone!
