It is probably safe to say that college isn't for everyone. Although we feel strongly that talented, young bowlers should hone their skills through college bowling, they must have the academic skills and desire to excel in their studies. Consider some of the information given above and then imagine combining academics with the WSU Varsity Bowling Program. Bowlers in large numbers have come to this program from literally all across the U.S., and even overseas. Some have even distinguished themselves nationally.
Many people are quickly surprised at the number of very talented bowlers in the program.
Usually, there's more talent assembled in the varsity program than they have ever seen together at any one time in their life. However, the cold, hard fact is that with roughly 30 men and 15 women trying out annually, the majority of them will not be selected for our team. Entering a program like this, a student needs a successful game plan. A student who does poorly in class creates a dangerous situation, which may bring about failure in their personal affairs or with their bowling. But, by the same token, a student who does well in class usually bowls well for us on the lanes.
