Request to Establish a Bowling Team- FCHS
REQUEST TO ESTABLISH A BOWLING PROGRAM AT FRANKLIN CO. HIGH SCHOOL:
As a KHSAA member school, we are required to survey our students regarding sports participation and student interest to add programs. In the spring of 2021, FCHS conducted our most recent KHSAA survey and the results indicated a qualified desire from our students to participate in the sport activity of bowling. Bowling was implemented by the KHSAA in 2012. The next step was to hold an interest meeting this fall to gauge legitimate interest.That meeting was held on August 26th and had approximately 30 students either attend in person or follow up with contact to note their committed interest.
Following the interest meeting, Tracy Spickard met with Scott Senn, owner of Capital Bowl, to discuss feasibility and the cost for kids to participate, etc. That conversation was very positive and provided the information we need to move forward. The next step was reaching out to the KHSAA to see what it would take to be able to join in the bowling alignment for competition. Darren Bilberry indicated that the KHSAA could insert Franklin Co. into the alignment immediately to enable us to compete in the 2021-2022 school year.
FCHS has followed the KHSAA recommended protocol for program planning and implementation and request that the board grant approval to establish bowling as a sport activity. Funding for coaching could be covered by the school for the 21-22 school year and in future years, FCHS could seek board approval to implement a stipend in line with the other offered KHSAA sport activities of archery and bass fishing.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
