Several area bowling alleys are kicking off summer programs to give kids more affordable activities.
Belt Bowl and Olympia Lanes are taking part in the Kids Bowl Free program which provides coupons redeemable at the bowling alley for kids to bowl two free games each day.
“We have a lot of kids that came in last year,” Brenda Burks with Belt Sports Complex said. “This is something that they can do throughout the summer and if they’re having a good time and enjoying it they can get into a league and join a league in the fall and it’s something they can continue on with.”
Belt Bowl kicked its program off a little early this year. The program started April 1 and will run until September 30th.
“All they have to do is just show us their phone and we give them a pin number and they redeem their coupons right from their phone,” Burks said.
Olympia Lanes will also take part in the program. General Manager Michael White said they plan to run it from May 1 until the end of September.
“It’s free just to get the kids in here and enjoying the sport and giving them something to do and also giving them a place to come and get some exercise,” White said. “Youth is an essential part of our growth in in the industry. We have to have kids to take over for adults who retire or quit.”
