YBC or Youth Bowling Canada, (formerly known as the Youth Bowling Council) is a non-profit sports organization with the mandate to promote organized 5 pin and 10 pin bowling to youth aged 3 to 21 in a cross-Canada league. The league is most commonly referred to as the YBC. Some 30,000 Canadian youth bowl weekly in the YBC, in bowling centres from coast-to-coast. They are coached by hundreds of adults, who volunteer their time to teach the game and to pass on their knowledge to the next generation of bowlers. ==History== The YBC was founded in 1964 and was originally known as the Youth Bowling Council. Initially, only a five-pin bowling program existed. The YBC's name was changed to Youth Bowling Canada in 2006. The program only existed in Ontario, during the first year of the YBC's existence (the 1963-64 season). The following season (1964–65), the YBC was expanded onto a national scale with the provinces of Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta and British Columbia joining. In later years, Newfoundland, New Brunswick, Quebec, Nova Scotia, the Northwest Territories and Prince Edward Island joined, with the last region, Yukon, joining in the 1998-99 season. Nunavut is the only region of Canada not represented in the YBC as there are currently no bowling alleys in that territory, with the exception of 2 lanes at CFB Alert that are used by military personnel. Due to Ontario's vast size, the province is divided into two separate and independent regions, namely Northern Ontario and Southern Ontario. The YBC's ten-pin program started in 1970 with the provinces of British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba and Ontario participating. Quebec joined in 1981, followed by New Brunswick in 1995. Other parts of Canada do not have any 10 pin bowling alleys. In 2015, the organization was renamed to "Youth Bowl Canada". 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Youth Bowling Canada」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
