Summit County USBC

A message from our friends at the TNBA: Greetings TNBA Family, Through my communications with bowling coaches from Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU), several have expressed an interest in female bowlers out of the TNBA Junior Programs for their respective university’s women’s bowling teams. Listed below are the twenty-seven HBCU schools and some of the requirements and expectations for their programs: Shaw University Raleigh, NC Bethune-Cookman University Daytona Beach, FL Coppin State University Baltimore, MD Texas Southern University Houston, TX Virginia Union University Richmond, VA Johnson C. Smith University Charlotte, NC Norfolk State University Norfolk, VA Florida A&M University Tallahassee, FL Morgan State University Baltimore, MD North Carolina Central University Durham, NC University of Maryland Eastern Shore Princess Anne, MD Howard University Washington, DC Delaware State University Dover, DE North Carolina A&T University Greensboro, NC Grambling State University Grambling, LA Jackson State University Jackson, MS Southern A&M University Baton Rouge, LA Alabama State University Normal, AL Alabama A&M University Montgomery, AL Prairie View A&M University Prairie View, TX Bowie State University Baltimore, MD Chowan University Murfreesboro, NC Elizabeth City State University Elizabeth City, NC Fayetteville State University Fayetteville, NC Livingstone College Salisbury, NC St. Augustine's University Raleigh, NC Virginia State University St. Petersburg, VA A minimum 2.0 Grade Point Average (GPA), some schools may require at least a 2.5 (GPA). A minimum qualifying score from either the ACT or SAT exam, each school has their own requirements. A current high school transcript (including 1st semester of their senior year is needed in most cases, unless the athlete signs a letter of intent during the November early signing period. Before any athletic/academic scholarship can be offered, the bowler must receive a clearance from the NCAA Eligibility Center. This action must be initiated by her high school counselor. Most schools can offer a combination athletic/academic scholarship depending on the GPA and ACT or SAT scores. All schools have some type of strength and conditioning program. Yes, that will include weight lifting and cardio training. There is the potential for having up to 20 hours per week devoted to bowling activities. This will be far more extensive than your 3 game Saturday league and or Sunday travel league bowling. The bowlers MUST be coachable, have a positive attitude and have a passion for bowling! Coaches have different average expectations. The minimum average I have heard so far is 150. This is why a video of the bowler is crucial for the coach’s decision making process. Some suggestions from coaches that I have received in the past include, wear loose fitting clothing (no tight fitting jeans.) The video should capture front, back and both sides of the bowler. When shooting at spares, make sure you “follow the shot,” even if there is no doubt that you are going to make the spare. This shows attitude. Coaches want to see how you may react/respond to the pressure in the 10th frame of the Baker event as their anchor bowler and the match is on the line! Also, don’t be afraid to show your personality. You will have to interact with teammates on a daily basis. If you have questions or concerns, please feel free to contact Keith Bridgeforth. He is looking forward to assisting young ladies in obtaining scholarship information for collegiate bowling. Keith R. Bridgeforth TNBA Collegiate Program Director bridgekr@aol.com (651) 261-9365
