2 ABOUT THE SYC The Storm Youth Championships (SYC) was created to celebrate all of the great things about youth bowling. Our goal is to bring players and families from around the country together in the spirit of competition and camaraderie. We choose to limit the field size so every player, parent, coach, sibling, and all other guests can fully participate in all the events listed in this player guide. We want all attendees to have a great experience! Because charitable giving has long been a focus at Storm, we ve aligned the SYC Coastal Classic with a worthy charity, Ballard vs. The Big C, known as BVBC and $10 of every entry will go directly to BVBC to help continue to fight the war against cancer. You can learn more about BVBC here.
