New USBC Youth Membership Changes

If you are involved with youth bowling in a supervisory position, you'll need to read the USBC Youth Membership Changes as soon as possible since your leagues will be starting soon.

I found this Q & A with USBC regarding dues rather interesting:

Q: How can USBC approve a dues increase on the youth without a convention vote, but the adult increase must be approved by the delegates?


A: Youth dues, along with youth awards, league and tournament rules are under the authority of the USBC Board in accordance with Article VIII of the USBC National Bylaws.


Q: Why is USBC proposing a delay for any dues increase for the adults due to the economy, but establishing a dues increase this year for the youth?


A: The decision making process that is in place for youth matters through the USBC Bylaws allows for an efficient and expedited process to address significant issues. Without the immediate implementation of these programs and the dues increase to support them, USBC believes the continued slide of USBC Youth membership will continue at an unacceptable drastic rate.
