The 2025 Special Olympics bowling season will begin soon. Please plan your practice schedules accordingly through the area meet. More detailed practice and competition information will follow as the season progresses. This is our only sport that comes with a fee, which is set by the bowling alley each season.
All athletes must be at least 8 years of age, attend a Cy-Fair ISD school and required to have a yearly physical before they can practice or compete. The medical form must be current, less than one year old. Only the Special Olympics Athlete Enrollment/Medical Release Form will be accepted. Physical forms may be accessed on the district website, www.cfisd.net , by searching Special Olympics.
Bowling Schedule:
1st Practice: Sunday, Oct. 5
Practice dates: Sundays on the following dates:
- October 5, 19, 26
- November 2, 16 and 23
- December 7
Time: Arrive at 1:50 p.m. We will begin bowling no later than 2 pm. Practice is over after your 2 games are bowled.
Location: Copperfield Bowl (15615 Glen Chase Drive Houston, TX 77095)
Cost: $7.50 per Sunday, paid to the bowling alley
(Fee pays for 2 games and bowling shoes rental)
Area Tournament:
December 12 and 13
AMF Diamond Lanes (267 N. Forest Blvd., Houston, TX 77090)
**IT IS NOT AT COPPERFIELD BOWL THIS YEAR**
Upon arrival at the bowling facility, pay for your games, get your bowling shoes at the front desk and then proceed to your assigned lanes. Please arrive on time as late arrivals are not guaranteed two games. All athletes must be able to hold the bowling ball independently and roll the ball down the lane independently. The ramp bowlers are the only ones that can have assistance. Bowling ramps are only for those athletes with physical limitations. No rails are allowed in Special Olympics. Remember to wear socks!
Adequate time for athletes to train is priority as an average game score is required for tournament entries. Poor attendance may result in not attending competition. Please discuss any attendance concerns with the coach.
PLEASE BRING A COPY OF YOUR ATHLETE’S CURRENT MEDICAL FORM TO GIVE THE COACH ON THE FIRST DAY OF PRACTICE. A COPY IS REQUIRED FOR EACH SPORT (i.e. participation in bowling and basketball will require two copies -- one for the bowling coach and one for the basketball coach and so on.) A new medical form is required as of August 1, so no medical/athlete registration from last year will be accepted, and all pages must be included.
Any further questions please contact Melissa McKay, Special Olympics Coordinator.
