More than 3,500 student-athletes on 200 college and university intercollegiate bowling teams compete in more than 80 certified tournaments each year, and around 80 colleges and universities across the country offer bowling scholarships.

Collegiate bowling has grown in popularity and prestige under College Bowling USA and more recently with the formation of the USBC Collegiate program, bowling's national intercollegiate governing body. College bowling consists primarily of team competitions with a few individual events and awards coming from the team events. Working as a team to achieve a common goal is a very rewarding experience.

Those programs include men's and women's teams at the club, National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) and National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA) levels and women's varsity teams with the National Collegiate Athletics Association (NCAA).

USBC Collegiate oversees and conducts the bowling Intercollegiate Team and Singles Championships. The country's top 80 men's and top 64 women's collegiate teams compete in regional events for the right to advance to the annual ITC, a nationally televised tournament. Individual championships are crowned at the annual ISC. USBC Collegiate also works with the National Collegiate Bowling Coaches Association to determine All-Americans and Academic Recognition, Rookie of the Year and Most Valuable Player honors.

USBC Collegiate maintains the eligibility and integrity of club and varsity bowling by certifying and regulating the sport at the collegiate level, and initiates bowling programs that develop athletic and leadership skills that expose college bowlers to a variety of experience.

The USBC Collegiate program is located at USBC Headquarters in Arlington, Texas. The NCAA, NJCAA and NAIA recognize USBC Collegiate as the sport's national intercollegiate governing body, the largest organized body for collegiate bowling.

Bowlers are expected to bowl year around.  In season programs are practicing most days with the exception of the mandatory one or two days off a week. Often times top bowlers will still bowl on the off days. In the off season it is a best time to work with a personal coach to work on evolving skills and prepare for the following season.
