Own a UBA Franchise
Own a UBA Franchise
Explore UBA franchise ownership to build a bowling team, create a distinct identity and compete within an established national network.
Your Team. Your Identity.
Build your UBA franchise
A UBA franchise is more than a league team. For example, owners recruit their roster, shape their culture and guide their franchise through district competition and national opportunities.
First, ownership starts with building a clear team identity. For example, your franchise name, look and culture help bowlers connect around a shared purpose. In addition, responsible recruiting and clear communication support the competitive standards described by the UBA.
Next, explore how your team fits into UBA competition. In particular, the Season Tour and signature events provide the competitive setting for a franchise. Meanwhile, the national community connects owners and bowlers beyond their local market. To see that community in action, watch UBA TV.
Before applying, prepare your location, bowling background and goals. Then contact franchise development to discuss the current structure, standards, costs and market availability. However, do not assume a territory or price is available until the UBA confirms it. Finally, review the application requirements directly with the association before registration.
