About the Association

The local affiliate of the United States Bowling Congress serving certified bowlers, leagues, and youth programs across the greater Washington, D.C. area.

Our Mission

Supporting bowling in the Nation's Capital Area

The Nation's Capital Area USBC Association certifies leagues, runs championship tournaments, and preserves the records and recognition that keep the sport fair and rewarding.

As a chartered local association of the United States Bowling Congress, we serve bowlers across Maryland, the District of Columbia, and Northern Virginia. Our work includes maintaining official averages, processing achievement awards, administering rerate procedures, and upholding USBC playing rules for sanctioned league and tournament competition.

From first-time youth bowlers to longtime league veterans, our goal is the same: a well-run, welcoming sport with competition everyone can trust.
