Leagues
Milwaukee Lawn Bowling offers multiple leagues where individuals and teams gather weekly for social and competitive bowling throughout the season. League play occurs in both afternoons and evenings and features the different disciplines of the sport (singles, pairs, triples, and fours). Members are welcome to participate in as many leagues as they wish.

Team Bowl
This Monday night league requires teams of four members to compete in pairs and fours matches each week. Members may sign up as a team or as individuals to be placed on a team. Each team is required to have a novice and a female member. Teams may roster more than 4 members to accommodate teammates who need to miss a week. A group of substitutes will also be created to fill in as needed. Teams are placed in one of two pools based on skill level. Each pool of teams will play matches in a round robin over a 3-4 week cycle. After completing a round robin cycle, the pools will be adjusted and teams or team members may be added or drop out if they wish, prior to beginning a new round robin cycle. Standings are maintained over the season.
