Upcoming Events

The NSBC Middle School League is actively seeking school commitments for the 2025 Fall season. Last year we had 10 schools represented across 4 divisions (Boys A, Boys B, Boys C & Girls) and are hoping to expand.

Our Middle School Coordinator Matt Collier is who you need to reach out to if you are in charge of a middle school bowling program & would like to be included in the 2025 season.

Returning middle school programs need to let Matt know ASAP if you are planning on returning. New schools need to commit by August 1st in order to be included. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to Matt via email.
