The spring bowling league session kicks off on Tuesdays beginning January 27, 2026 and lasts through March 31. Registration will open to all participants on Tuesday, December 9 at 7 p.m.. Team Captains receive early registration access starting at 12pm noon. All registration takes place online via the LeagueApps portal.
City League is hosted at Bowlero Pittsburgh, 2440 Noblestown Road, Pittsburgh, PA 15205 (Map).
East League is hosted at Miracle Lanes, 4045 William Penn Hwy, Monroeville, PA 15146 (Map).
Both leagues will operate with the same schedule, rules and pricing. Bowlers will register for a specific location when completing registration.
A Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) pre-registration period for underrepresented groups (POC, trans/non-binary, people with disabilities, and other marginalized groups) will take place two days early starting August 10. Due to technology limitations, DEI Captains are asked to wait for captain early access.
Registration will close to all players on December 16 and any player not paid in full by that time will be considered ineligible thereby forfeiting their spot in the league.
Registration Process
TEAM CAPTAINS
Team Captains will have a special registration window of 12pm to 7pm on August 12 as an opportunity to initially establish the team. At 7pm, team players and free agents will be able to register and be recruited by the team captains. Captains are wholly responsible for accepting incoming player requests or recruiting from the free agent list to add to their team roster.
What if the captain is unavailable on registration day?
Allow a fellow team members to register as captain and perform registration day responsibilities. To re-assign the role of captain to a different rostered member, email bowling@stonewallsportspgh.org to have the roles updated.
CAPACITY
This season the city league has a capacity of 30 teams while the east league has a capacity of 20 teams. All teams are limited to 6 players maximum. A team is considered complete when a captain and a minimum of two (2) additional team members have paid in full. Once capacity is reached for a location, all incomplete team captains and players will be defaulted back to the free agent list.
Free agents looking to connect with team captains are encouraged to do so via Facebook or by commenting on this post in the Facebook group.

Play It Forward Campaign
Prospective participants are welcome to take advantage of the Play-It Forward Fund to apply for a reduction of registration fees. The fund supports our Stonewall community by offsetting registration costs with the belief that financial access should not be a barrier to participation in our leagues or programs. Bowling participants can apply for these funds until December 7 at 11:59pm. All registrants will be asked to consider donating $5 into the fund to support future applicants.
