Looking for new winter league ideas

[columbiabowl]

We are looking for new league ideas for the winter. Right now we have a mixed league 4 person team, mens league 5 men team, womens 4 person team, double league, seniors league, and Jr's league. Let me know what you ideas might be. we tried a sport shot league and no one signed up for 2 years straight. Also tried a glow bowl league and no one signed up. What we are looking to do is pull new bowlers in and we are trying to find something that will attract them. Thanks for your help.

Vegas Leagues are coming back. (Entire league goes to Vegas for the end of season banquet)

Have A Ball leagues are always a good idea. (Everyone gets a new bowling ball, and coaching)

Monte Carlo (red pin/ blue pin) leagues were hot years ago. (Blue head pin strike pays a quarter)

9 pin No-Tap leagues are fun.

Jack and Jill doubles are quick bowling leagues.

Adult Youth are a breeze to put together.


If you did Kids Bowl Free this summer, use your email database to target market to them.
That was the point of that whole program.

As a teen, I spent hours on the phone with a local phone book building leagues. With cell phones taking over and more and more folks dropping their land-line, that doesn't work anymore. Now-a-days, an email database and cell phone txt database are your best tools. Social media, your website, and the internet in general can't be overlooked as a valuable tool for building your business.
The last piece to the puzzle is your staff!
If they're not asking every open bowler if they would like to join a league.... REPLACE THEM!!!!

We have a church league that is popular. I've thought about a family league with no bar available or on the other side of the spectrum an adults only league with no kids allowed.
