SchoBowlFest

What is SchoBowlFest?

SchoBowlFest is an annual conference for Illinois coaches. Community members are also welcome to attend. The conference usually has a morning session and an afternoon session, and includes community discussions and talks from experienced coaches on topics like recruitment, fundraising, running practices, keeping team statistics, or running tournaments. Door prizes provided by generous vendors, such as free question sets, buzzer vouchers, and discounts, are usually awarded by random draw.

Please read the SchoBowlFest policies page for more information about SchoBowlFest. SchoBowlFest is open to everyone, but admission is discounted with IHSSBCA membership.
