Tournaments

Throughout the year, we invite members of the Greater Kalamazoo Bowling Association to participate in a variety of competitive tournaments designed to highlight skill and foster camaraderie among local bowlers. We encourage everyone to take advantage of these opportunities, whether you’re striving for a personal best or aiming for a team title.

Details regarding upcoming tournaments, entry requirements, and registration deadlines are regularly updated, so bowlers are encouraged to check back often and stay engaged with all that the GKBA has to offer. See what tournaments are available to join below:
