Coaching is a very important part of YABA through the USA Junior Olympic Bowling Coaches Program. To become certified interested individuals attend coaching clinics held all over the country each year. YABA members also receive Xpress magazine, the official publication of YABA, as a benefit of membership. YABA league awards are one of the most tangible benefits of membership. YABA awards can be earned by sanctioned members of all ages for their various accomplishments throughout their youth bowling career.
Awards consist of chevrons, rings, medals and plaques.
Every year YABA also recognizes several outstanding members and volunteers who stand out for their achievements or service in YABA and the sport of bowling. The annual national awards include the YABA David Dahms Coach of the Year and Volunteer of the Year Awards and the YABA Youth Leaders of the Year. YABA members are also eligible for the ABC Chuck Hall Star of Tomorrow and the WIBC Alberta E. Crowe Star of Tomorrow awards.
