n the sport of bowling, and always-friendly interaction among its members. With a current active membership of over 400 men and women, the SNBA is proud to be one of the strongest Nisei Bowling Associations in the United States.
The SNBA is a member association of the Northern California Nisei Bowling Federation, which is comprised of 14 local associations located across Northern California.
Though primarily dedicated to the enjoyment and fellowship created through the gathering of individuals in
the sport of bowling, the SNBA also makes efforts to contribute to the local community. Each year, the SNBA is proud to participate in the local Japanese American Citizens League (JACL) High School Scholarship Program by sponsoring a $1000.00 scholarship awarded to a deserving high school graduate.Activities of the SNBA include an Annual Invitational Tournament, held in the month of February. Each year the SNBA tournament attracts bowlers from Northern and Central California for two weekends of tournament play.
SNBA By-Laws
The By-Laws of the SNBA define the general guidelines by which the organization shall operate. Because the SNBA is a member of the Northern California Nisei Bowling Federation, it must also adhere to guidelines created by that parent organization.
Both of these sets of guidelines are intended to preserve the fundamental objectives and traditions upon which Nisei Bowling was created some 60 years ago.
