Josh:
Unfortunately there are times when bowling centers are full with either leagues or open play and there are no lanes available for you to practice...

Berks Lanes in reading, Pennsylvania has this problem all the time because there are many leagues and then when the after school bowling program comes in there are no lanes usually till after 9 o'clock at night

Prairie Bowl El Dorado, Kansas, i work there and usually we dont have ne open lanes due to the fact that we have either big leagues or small leagues with our high here in town bringin out the P.E. classes but thats it usually we have open lanes on weedays

yes, all the time at Channahon Lanes in Channahon Illinois because there are only 16 lanes

We only have 16 lanes, my home center is the one that Andy works at...But he is right about the P.E. classes and the Leagues. But also we share a house with Circle High Schools bowling team, and then of course we have our bowling team in the same house as well El Dorado High School.
