Susan Polowski (also will be representing as singles) and Tamara Hamilton will be a part of the ladies teaching team and Lawrence Holizki is a part of the men’s teaching team.

Teaching and senior divisions are pins over average. Whomever has the highest pin fall over their average will play singles but they also bowl on the team as well. The next four that make the team get to take their top three days.

Nationals are scheduled to start at the end of June in Winnipeg.
