I have been approached by many people about participating in a summer league. I love to be outdoors in the summer, but the thought of bowling in summer league sounds cool. If anyone has any input, please reply.

Summer leagues can be great. They're shorter, often less than 14 weeks. I always suggest trying something different than your winter league format, just so you don't burn out.

Try something harder, something sillier, whatever it is that makes it interesting for you.

In Southern California, it's more the norm to bowl summer than it is to take it off, but definitely try something a little DIFFERENT.

If you live in a place where bowling isn't considered a summer thing like I do, then expect to see lots less oil. The houses put down a lot less oil since not many people are bowling. I once bowled a whole summer league with an Ebonite gemstone because the lanes were so dry all the time. Its a good opportunity to try new things as Angel mentioned. You might play only real deep shots one week and then come back next week and try and play down the ditch, see what you can do with all different types of lines.

If you know the people you will be bowling with as a fun group, you'd be crazy not to take up the opportunity. It could also be an opportunity to meet a lot of other new people. It's all about fun no matter what time of year it is.
