July 20, 2015 - PRLog -- If you haven’t taken advantage of a Park-It Family Fun Night sponsored by the South Eastern Michigan Bowling Centers Association (http://www.sembca.com/) (SEMBCA) and others, there’s still time before the kids head back to school.

From now until September 2, your family can enjoy a free evening that includes an outdoor concert, tons of kids’activities, giveaways and a movie under the stars. SEMBCA Acting Executive Director John Casbar said thousands of metropolitan Detroit families have already enjoyed Family Fun Nights at parks such as Livonia’s Ford Field, Veterans Memorial Park in St. Clair Shores and Champaign Park in Allen Park.

“It’s a very family-oriented event,”said Casbar. He noted that bowling centers near the Park-It Family Fun Night (http://www.parkitforfun.com/) events take part to help promote the sport. “It’s all about awareness to get kids involved in bowling.”

There are Park-It nights scheduled every week throughout the Metro Detroit area from now until the final Fun Night at Southfield’s Inglenook Park on Wednesday, September 2. While that might be the end of the program for this year, fall youth bowling leagues will just be getting started.

Sign-up for the leagues, which range from age 4 to 20, will be held in August. Casbar, who is the business activity and marketing director for Sunnybrook Golf & Bowl in Sterling Heights, said sign-up times vary from bowling center to bowling center. “Your best bet is to contact your local center,”he added.

Youth bowling is a great way for your child to stay active from September to April. Did you know bowling can burn up to 180 calories per hour? In addition, 134 different muscles are used during bowling, from the quadriceps to the biceps! Bowling three games is also the equivalent of waling a mile. Parents, remember SEMBCA bowling centers are also smoke-free environments.

Besides staying active, youth bowling can help build your child’s bank account for college. Throughout a youth bowler’s career, it’s possible to accumulate points from tournaments and competitions that can significantly help fund college tuition and/or expenses. More than $6 million in bowling scholarships are awarded nationally each year and can be used at nearly 40 Michigan colleges and universities, including Division 1-A schools.

Socialization is another benefit for youth bowlers. Bowling leagues and teams allow children to meet fellow players and spend time with friends. Social relationships around shared interests can also help build lifelong friendships.
