Through participation in TNBA leagues throughout  the Metropolitan area, juniors are given an opportunity to compete in regional tournaments. Winners of the regioinal tournament advance to the national level for the annual championship during TNBA week. Junior Program and Scholarship Program (JP&SP) promotes the game of tenpins to our youth. Membership is offered to all youth. Volunteer coaches teach  the bowling  skills that are essential for full enjoyment and successful competition.  Coaches also help bowlers develop good team spirit, a sense of fair play, respect for others, leadership, responsibility and honesty. The Scholarship Program provides financial assistance for college bound TNBA junior bowlers or youngsters  whose parent(s) are TNBA members. The scholarships (three for boys and three for girls) are awarded annually at the National Convention to high school graduates, entering college.
