Nor the fact that with this league being on Saturdays for me at least, It NEVER interfered with class schedules or work.</p>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Mr Matthew Kemper, Hillsboro, Oregon<p>As a junior that went till I was 22 and now as a Jr. Coach, a mentor, and a Professional bowler I believe that that it was unjust to make a rule change in the middle of the year.  I can agree with both sides that the rule could be changed or that it should not but I believe that if youth want to stay eligible for college and earn scholarship then USBC should eliminate the eligibility that allows Jrs. to bowl in Adult and PBA tournaments so that  it keeps the two worlds seperate.</p>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Mr Michael Kennedy, Farmingdale, NY, United States of America<p>What is the benefit of this rule change??  With the cost of tuitions i cannot believe your organization would take away opportunities for college kids to continue with the chance of winning scholarship dollars.  Do you realize that without scholarship bowling, a student athlete would have to go on tour to continue to earn money from bowling, causing a student to choose either school or sport. how absurd !!!  FYI, some childern have disabilities that causes delays in their secondary schooling !!!</p>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[mr Gerald Springer Jr, milford, ct, United States of America<p>as a parent and member of the abc and now the usbc i have watched for years the decline in youth bowling and the lack of responsibility taken by these associations in recruting youth bowlers to keep the sport moving in a positive direction.If you look at bowlers in leagues you hardly see any bowlers in the 20 to 35 year ages.this is directly because of these associations lack of youth recruting now they will further destroy youth interest by taking away potential scholorship earnings.For shame!</p>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Mr Giancarlos Marrero, Lakewood, NJ, United States of America<p>Currently, I will lose 2 years. I prefer doing youth tournaments every weekend since they are more common, easier to find, and so far more competitive than the adult tournaments that I have seen in my area. The scholarship I earn pays for my college books and food. Tuition is the only thing that I have to pay out of my pocket.</p>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Mr. Kent Smith, Boiling Springs, SC<p>I have been involved with youth bowling as a participant, coach, or board member since 1971. The age limit of 22 has worked well all of those years, I see no reason to change it now.</p>

<p>I do not believe the national youth committee did enough research to determine the effects of an age reduction. I believe it is a power play by the bowling proprietors to get on the good side of the governing bodies for international competition.</p>

<p>Do not implement this change !!!</p>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Mr Alexander Earle, spokane, Washington, United States of America<p>The age limit has been 22 for years why change it now?? I was planning on bowling youth as long as I could to earn as much scholarship money as I could for college. Now this new rule cuts of 2 years of my eligiability and only have one year remaining. Youth bowling is growing more and more and i want to be apart of it for as long as possible. It is one of the best things in my life!</p>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Mr Patrick Ruiz, Hawthorne, California, United States of America<p>I find this change to a suffering from a lack of a thought on the part of the USBC. To make a change like this so abruptly caused a sort of panic in some people. I was talking to some people at my last tournament about it and they were already trying to find a way that they could balance school, work and an adult league since they would no longer be bowling their normal junior league due to this new rule. I hope for the sake of bowlers present and future, that you guys reinstate 22 as the limit.</p>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Anonymous, Cerritos, CA, United States of America<p>I was fortunate enough to bowl the youth program until I was 21yrs old under the former YABA. Reducing the age eligibility to 20 yrs old is nonsense. With the constant rise of college tuition and already reduced scholorship fund; the youth bowlers  deserves to remain in the program until the age of 22. USBC&#039;s goal was to keep kids on the lanes and out of the gutter.</p>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Mr. Danny Bethune Jr. (D.J.), Jacksonville, FL, United States of America<p>I would like to say as a former youth bowler that age requriement should stay the same because you are leaving out a very important age group. I stayed in the youth until i was 21 because I wanted college scholarships and I needed them. So I don&#039;t think the age requriement should be changed because you are short changing the older yth. bowlers.</p>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[mrs. Dawn Aguilar, Tucson, Arizona, United States of America<p>I feel that not all youth are not necessarily ready for Adult leagues at 19, 20, or 21.  This is also the age of collage students who are trying to raise money for collage and it is easier for them and less expensive for them in youth leagues.  Youth leagues are also held on the weekends and adults leagues are during the week when they are usually studying of going to school.</p>]]></description>

Forcing the age limit to 20 will force more of our youth into the adult leagues which they can not afford and will ultimately drive them out of the sport and USBC out of a job.</p>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[mr jamison hudson, yulee, florida, United States of America<p>I  would like the age group to stay at the age it was when I start bowling.  I just turned 20 years old in Feb. of this year.  Because of the new age group I will not be able to bowl one more year.</p>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Tony Luciano, Jacksonville, Florida, United States of America<p>I find it interesting that the Youth Committee has approved this measure when I am the Vice Chair for the First Coast USBC youth committee and I knew nothing about this. It appears that this decision was made without considering the input of the local chapters or the youth bowlers themselves.</p>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Mrs Brenda Parenteau, Jacksonville, Fl<p>I feel the youth bowlers age should stay at 22 so that the bowlers are allowed to obtain scholarship money and enjoy the youth bowling.</p>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Marquin Allison, Hemet, CA, United States of America<p>I know that I just started bowling 6 months ago at the age of 17.  There is so much that I love about the game and there are many things that I need to learn too.  Being able to be with the youth coaches is a blessing.  Although every kid wants to be an adult in a hurry this would not be one of those times.  I don&#039;t want to stop bowling because I am in school and being in an adult league would not be good for my grades or lifestyle.  I don&#039;t want to give up the game just because of a timeframe.</p>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Thomas Brownie, Chester, Virginia<p>I think the age change is an okay thing, but for bowlers who were right on the line, in the last couple years of their youth career, i think they should be grandfathered in until theyre 22. And everyone else can get the new age change.</p>]]></description>
