About the Cal5PBA
Established in the mid-1970s and incorporated under the Society’s Act in 1991, the Calgary 5 Pin Bowlers’ Association is a local non-profit volunteer organization committed to organizing and promoting recreational and competitive 5 pin bowling activities in Calgary and the surrounding area. As an affiliate of the Alberta 5 Pin Bowlers’ Association and the Canadian 5 Pin Bowlers’ Association, the Calgary 5 Pin Bowlers’ Association acts is the local governing body for the sport of 5 pin bowling and qualifies bowlers for provincial events. The Calgary Zone consists of the City of Calgary, Airdrie, Cochrane and Okotoks and works in cooperation with 10 Bowl Alberta member centres; however, Alberta 5 Pin Bowlers’ Association membership is open to the general population. Programs are offered in 4 areas: youth, adults, seniors and special needs.
The Calgary 5 Pin Bowlers’ Association is committed to the Long Term Athlete Development Model and is a strong proponent of 5 pin bowling as a key opportunity to develop physical literacy; 5 pin bowling has been identified as an excellent way to develop balance and coordination and encourages cognitive and emotional development. Additionally, league and tournament experiences provide incredible opportunities to engage socially and build lifelong relationships within one’s community. Bowlers compete at appropriate levels throughout development and the Calgary 5 Pin Bowlers’ Association is committed to providing NCCP certified coaches at all levels.
The Calgary 5 Pin Bowlers’ Association is a proud supporter of the ParticipACTION Network and Sport Calgary.
