Welcome to the City of Firsts USBC Association website.

We are based in Kokomo (the City of Firsts) Indiana.

It's time for the 2019-2020 League Season!!

Rules Changes

Note that there are a couple of new rules to be aware of.  The first is already in effect.  You are not allowed to clean your bowling ball with any substance during competition including alcohol or cleaners. You are ONLY allowed to use a DRY towel.  If your ball has some "rubber belt burn", you need to get with the league officer in order to clean THAT PORTION of the bowling ball.  The second major rule to note takes effect on August 1, 2020.  That rule prohibits the use of a balance hole in the bowling ball.  If you have a high performance bowling ball drilled a number of years ago, this may affect you.  Schedule time in the pro shop to have them fill the balance hole as you will not be allowed to use that ball in league competition after August 1st.
