The summer bowling league session kicks off on Tuesdays beginning June 3, 2025 at Bowlero Pittsburgh and lasts through August 5. Registration will open to all participants on Tuesday, April 22 at 7 p.m.. Team Captains receive early registration access starting at 12pm noon. All registration takes place online via the LeagueApps portal.
A new “challenger” division will be offered with a different approach to the season schedule. In this new division, each week will have position round scheduling. This means the schedule is 1st place vs 2nd place, 3rd place vs 4th place … etc.
Can your team withstand the season-long challenge and stay at the top of your game?
If that seems like too much pressure to perform, or the team is simply not interested? Don’t worry! The “classic” division with traditional round robin scheduling is still offered. Scoring and handicap remains the same in each division.
Team captains will select to play their team into either “classic” or “challenger” divisions during 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 one day early starting April 21. Due to technology limitations, DEI Captains are asked to wait for captain early access.
Registration will close to all players on April 28 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 April 22 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 [email protected] to have the roles updated.
CAPACITY
This season is limited to 36 teams with 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 the 36th team has completed this step, 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 April 20 at 11:59pm. All registrants will be asked to consider donating $5 into the fund to support future applicants.
