As the head coach of the University High School Bowling Team from Orange City, Florida, I'm thrilled to share our remarkable journey during the 2025-2026 season. Our team is relatively young, with just one senior on the roster, yet these dedicated athletes have shown extraordinary commitment and talent.
This year, we had an exceptional season, advancing all the way to the state championships where we finished a strong 7th place. Now, we're headed to Nationals in June 2026 in Columbus, Ohio, to compete against the best teams in the nation. As their coach, I couldn't be more proud of what they've accomplished as a team, it's a testament to their hard work and resilience.
Our journey began back in early August 2025, and since then, each team member has trained and practiced a few days a week, even as they balance demanding schedules as athletes on other sports teams like soccer and baseball, plus involvement in school clubs. These are the hardest working young adults I've ever coached, consistently finding time to hone their skills leading up to Nationals.
We're now seeking donors to help fund our travel and participation in this national event. Your support would mean the world to these incredible student-athletes as we aim to make history on this stage.
Best, Coach Gill
