Bow Ball is our annual team banquet following the Central Youth Regional Championships. It’s a wonderful opportunity to honor our graduating athletes, celebrate those earning their Varsity letters, and recognize the valuable contributions made by our team members throughout the year.
BowBall will occur at University Park United Methodist Church this year on Friday, May 8th 2026, from 7 to 9 PM. We hope to see you there to celebrate our athletes!
