Bowling League
  1. There is no season fee.  You pay $3.50 for one game and $7.00 for two games.
  2. A good majority of you have money on your account from cancelled bowling in 2020.  That will be applied first to your bowling games after you bowl.  Once that money is gone, you will then receive an invoice (emailed) and you will mail or drop your payment off at LIFE.  Please note that you will not be able to register for any activities if any balance is due.
  3. We are not taking money at the bowling alley.  We will not take money until after you have attended bowling and have received an invoice via email.
  4. We will still keep track of your scores, so make sure you complete the score sheet at your lane and turn into Dawn or Jamey before you leave.
  5. Bowling registration will be held on a month-to-month basis.  Register at https://schedulesplus.com/lifemc/kiosk/
  6. This is not Special Olympics Bowling.  All Special Olympics Minnesota events, including practices and tournaments, have been suspended until further notice. In lieu of Special Olympics sports, LIFE Mower County will be offering recreational bowling this winter. There will be no competitions, but we can still have fun and be able to socialize safely at a distance! * Recreational bowling offered through LIFE Mower County is in no way associated with Special Olympics Minnesota.  

Participant Eligibility Requirements

All in-person programs have enhanced essential eligibility requirements in order to comply with state and federal COVID-19 regulations and best practices. These measures are necessary to keep all participants and staff members safe. We understand these measures may be difficult for some of our participants and may exclude them from returning to in-person programming. We intend to ease restrictions as governmental regulations change based on state progress through the Governor’s plan.

If a participant is unable to meet the following expectations, they may be unable to participate at this time in accordance with current federal, state, and local mandates and guidelines.
 
  • Independently attend to personal self-care such as bathroom needs, hand washing, eating, dressing, and personal hygiene.
  • Maintain physical distance of 6 feet or greater from other participants, staff, and community members with minimal verbal reminders.
  • Independently put on, wear, and take off a face covering, when necessary and for the duration of the program.
  • Participate in the activity without the need for physical assistance (i.e. hand over hand, lifting/transferring).
  • Follow policies and participate without emotional outbursts that require direct or close proximity or, which expose others to respiratory droplets (i.e. yelling, spitting or biting).
  • Conduct a personal health screening prior to each program. Must be able to honestly answer “No” to all questions.
 
All participants are required to complete their own personal health assessment. LIFE will not record or request proofs of this, but by attending a program, participants are confirming they can answer “no” to the following questions. If you answer “yes” to any of these questions, you are not allowed to attend until cleared by a medical professional.

In the last 24 hours, has the participant experienced:
  • A fever of 100.4 or greater in the last 24 hours with or without fever reducing medication?
  • Cough, congestion, runny nose, sore throat, shortness of breath, or difficulty breathing?
  • Fatigue, muscle or body aches, headache or chills?
  • Nausea, vomiting or diarrhea?
  • New loss of sense of smell or taste?
  • Any additional symptom as updated by the CDC associated with COVID-19?
  • Tested positive or been exposed to someone who tested positive for COVID-19 within the past 14 days?
 
If the participant displays any of the above symptoms, LIFE Mower County must take precautions as if participant has
COVID-19. If the participant has illness such as allergies or other non-contagious conditions that may appear similar to a contagious illness, a note from a medical professional is required prior to participation. LIFE Mower County has the right to refuse any participant who appears to have any of the above symptoms.
 
If a participant becomes ill during a program, a guardian or emergency contact will be notified and asked to pick up the participant. Staff will escort the participant to an isolated area and remain with them at a safe distance until they are picked up.
​
​If a participant is unable to meet the following expectations, they may be unable to participate at this time in accordance with current federal, state, and local mandates and guidelines.
