Join in the USBC Registered Volunteer Program

The USBC Registered Volunteer Program is launched to protect the children who bowl, and assure parents that bowling is doing everything it can to provide a safe haven for youths. You can welcome to join in the Registered Volunteer Program, as USBC is facing the same problem that every other youth sports and social organization is facing, that there are always a handful of people preying on the innocence of children. Thus, your participation is extremely important with regard of the safety of the children who play bowling. The registration into the Registered Volunteer Program is done online at the website of USBC. As long as you are over 18 years old and have regular physical or verbal contact with USBC Youth bowlers, you can participate in the RVP and pay for the screening and administrative fees of $21.25. Once you have registered, you will get a RVP Badge which is good for two years, and your name will be listed on Bowl.com online.
