Crimson Wave Men's Bowling
Dear Prospective Student-Athlete:
Calumet College of St. Joseph welcomes your interest in our Crimson
Wave Men’s Bowling Program. We are committed to help you receive a quality
education while competing at the highest level of collegiate sport. Our program
is designed to help you reach your bowling and educational goals.
We begin with a coaching staff driven to create a leading collegiate bowling
program. With over 40 years of experience as accomplished bowlers and
instructors, we offer knowledge and instruction based on first-hand achievement
and coaching study. Qualifying for the USBC Intercollegiate Team Championships
in each of our first five seasons with a National runner-up finish in 2010 CCSJ
has gained us recognition as a top national competitor. Here’s a glimpse of
what our program has to offer you:
Head Coach, Mike Kubacki, has gained national recognition as a collegiate and
amateur competitor since 1986. His accomplishments include gold and silver
medals while competing for Vincennes University, along with nearly two-hundred
amateur tournament wins. These include three Indiana state titles and numerous
local association crowns. His record also includes numerous individual awards
for 300’s and 800’s, and a perfect 3-for-3 cashing in U.S. Open Championships
as an amateur. Mr. Kubacki is a USBC Silver Level coach, and he also directed a
successful State Championship high school bowling program for Griffith High.
All players chosen to participate in our bowling program immediately become
eligible for school-directed financial support to help defray a portion of
annual tuition costs. The program is fully recognized and supported by the
school’s administration, with nearly all team-related expenses funded by the
college. The out-of-pocket cost for active team members is minimal. Players
also receive free monthly practice games and special pricing on personal
equipment purchased through the USBC Collegiate program. Three affiliate pro
shops work with us to provide expert fitting and drilling services at reduced
prices.
We provide expert instruction using proven techniques and the latest in video
analysis. Each player receives hands-on attention, along with an opportunity to
compete in major collegiate events. Our practice sessions are held strictly on
sport-compliant oil patterns to help us prepare for the demanding conditions
encountered in collegiate competition. Olympia Lanes, located less than ten
minutes from the college, is our home practice center. This modern 40-lane center
has the latest Brunswick ProAnvil Lane surface and Kegel lane machine, along
with full pro shop services to provide us with everything we need to build a
top program.
For over 50 years, Calumet College of St. Joseph has been providing
quality education in the Catholic tradition. Located just 30 minutes from
Chicago, our small class size, experienced instructors and accomplished
coaching staff provide the student-athlete with a rewarding experience in a
diverse setting.
