The Storm JR. Team is made up of young athletes who actively participate in Storm’s youth initiatives while bringing passion and positivity to the lanes. These athletes don’t just bowl at a high level, they lead, inspire, and help shape the future of the sport.

Reserved for a select group of exceptional youth players, the Storm JR.

Members of the team rank among the top competitors in their age groups nationwide and excel well beyond competition. They maintain strong academic performance, give back to their communities, and treat others with respect.

The Storm JR. Team and Evolution Program are led by Leanne Hulsenberg, USBC and PWBA Hall of Fame member and Tournament & Events Manager at Storm Products.

“The Storm JR. Team continues to be a powerful stepping stone for young athletes who dream of competing at the highest levels of our sport,” Hulsenberg said. “This program bridges the gap between youth bowling and our professional teams, while teaching values that extend far beyond competition. These athletes are leaders, role models, and ambassadors who show how bowling can positively impact young lives.”

“These athletes have consistently shown dedication to improvement, loyalty to Storm, and a genuine love for the game,” Hulsenberg added. “What truly sets them apart is their ability to inspire others. Their enthusiasm is contagious, and they play a vital role in welcoming new youth bowlers into the sport.”

The Storm JR. Team program also emphasizes the importance of family involvement. Each athlete’s parent or legal guardian is an active part of the journey, ensuring a strong support system as these young bowlers continue developing their skills, character, and future in the sport.
