Play2Win Bowling Leagues

What are leagues?

A bowling league is a weekly bowling competition where teams go head-to-head — some play to win, some just for fun!

Teams of bowlers compete to get the best score across a number of weeks. You enter a team, and compete against the other players to win prizes across the course of the season. There are awesome prizes up for grabs, and it’s a great excuse to hang out, have a laugh, and knock down some pins.

At Play2Win Bowling we currently have COMPETITIVE and FAMILY bowling leagues.
