How does the Winter Bowl process work?

Step 1

Register for your school’s Winter Bowl tryouts. The $70 player fee covers an official Winter Bowl jersey, facilities, referees, equipment and more. Donations are appreciated and help support the kids, IPSF, TPSF and the overall event.

Step 2

Teams will be formed by your school coaches (Parent volunteers). All volunteer coaches can be seen in TeamSnap after they fill out the volunteer form. If your school holds tryouts they should be posted in the app on your School Name – Winter Bowl team. These will vary by school and grade level.

Step 3

If and when your child is selected on a team, the head coach will submit their teams on the website. Players will be moved from the placeholder team (School Name – Winter Bowl) to the actual team. All submitted teams can be found on the team tab under the drop down menu of each event.
