ABOUT US

V&S (Vanessa & Steve) since 1980; V&S Lanes established January 2010

The center has been around in its present location for approximately 50+ years and has always remained a staple in the community for all to enjoy. V&S Lanes has long established and generations of bowlers here who have all enjoyed past & present fond memories of bowlers, events, leagues, and friendships.

     V&S Lanes is a 26-lane bowling center with a Pro Shop and snack shop. We have gone through many improvements & upgrades  in the past several years to include new scoring systems, new synthetic lanes, new HVAC systems, vending and snack shop, and many more improvements to come.

     We house (30+) USBC Sanctioned leagues throughout the year comprised of youth bowlers (Jimmy’s Juniors), seniors leagues, various mixed leagues, along with regionally advertised bowling tournaments and the UBA (Underground Bowling Association).

     We also are the home center for two of the city’s most amazing leagues:

​

• Model Bowling League est.1956- The oldest African American Bowling League in the city of Philadelphia, and the 4th oldest active league still intact in the country.

• Jimmy's Juniors - Originally founded in Philadelphia in 1972, the Jimmy's Juniors Youth Bowling Program was reorganized at V&S Lanes in 2010 by former Jimmy's Juniors members Vanessa Fred & Lisa Rose along with the inspiration and assistance from many other former members, friends, family, and original founder Mr. Frank Harwell. This Youth Bowling Program teaches and inspires youth from ages 6-18 in the sport of bowling, friendship, and sportsmanship.
