Founder and Commissioner, Dennis Berkholtz, of the NSL/NCL Wii Bowling Championships announced today that the NSL/NCL Championships will not be held as scheduled this Spring Season. Berkholtz stated, “after 13 years organizing and managing Senior Wii Bowling Championship’s we’re going to have a restart beginning in mid-September. It’s time to create a new look and to give the NSL and NCL more thought as to the structure and timing of the Championships. Hope all Wii Bowlers will join us in the Fall.”

The 2022 NSL season featured 214 teams from 25 states representing 59 communities with 1.047 registered Wii Bowlers. We started the 1st season of the NCL with 9 communities representing 31 teams. The NCL features Wii bowlers with intellectual and developmental differences representing the Autistic Community, the Down Syndrome Community and Special Olympic Athletes.
The NSL features senior bowlers from all walks of life and all levels of abilities. We feature bowlers from CCRC’s, Independent Senior Living Communities, Assisted Living Communities, Affordable Housing Communities, Senior Centers, VA Hospitals, Nursing Homes, Senior Meal Programs and Recreation Centers. The League features Senior Wii Bowlers with disabilities, bowlers in wheelchairs and legally blind bowlers.
In both leagues competitors bowl in their own community. No traveling is involved. Four (4) bowlers to a team. A team roster can have up to 4 substitutes making for an 8 team roster. The NSL/NCL recommends a team have a minimum of 5 registered bowlers. All teams are led by a ‘coach’ who is responsible for organizing the team(s) and keeping an open line of communication with the NSL/NCL. The coach is also responsible for posting team scores on the NSL website each week.
The NSL/NCL provides participation certificates for all bowlers as well as certificates for conference champions. Winners and Finalists at the National Championship level receive NSL Etched Glass awards. We also name and honor a Senior Wii Bowler of the Year and a NSL Wii Coach of the Year.
The NSL and NCL DOES ALL THE WORK - OUR BOWLERS HAVE ALL THE FUN!
