SU and ESF Faculty and Staff Bowling League: Bowlers Wanted

Do you enjoy bowling? Would you like to try bowling? Do you want a fun activity with your colleagues?

The SU and ESF Faculty and Staff Bowling League is seeking new members. This is a fun handicap, non-sanctioned league accepting bowlers of all genders who are currently employed at the College or University. Skill level does not matter; the beginner to high average bowler will be accepted. Beginners will be encouraged and coached by the more experienced and skilled bowlers. At present, the league bowls at Village Lanes, 201 E. Manlius St. in East Syracuse, from 4:55 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. on Tuesdays, September through April. Practice bowling is 10 minutes before the league starts. Weekly fees are about $15 each week.

The league has a long history of bowling in the area; from Drumlins in the ’60s to the present day. Members have always been recruited from the SU and ESF communities. Last year, the league successfully recruited several new members; unfortunately, a few members will not be returning. This leaves the league short one team.

The league is searching for new members who would like to join a team or become league subs. There is also an opening for a full team. Each team consists of four bowlers with one or two substitutes. As an incentive, fees for league subs are paid by the team.

League play starts Sept. 6. There will be a practice session on Aug. 30; those interested are welcome to come and check out the league and teams.

Captains are Ray Leach, Aaron Knight, Jason LaTray, Dana Cooke, Eric Greenfield, Randy Money and Sue Taylor-Netzband.
