The Southern Oregon Bowling Association (SOBA) was founded in 1987 by Roy Rider of Medford Lanes. When it was first founded bowers traveled to a different city each month with the majority located in Southern Oregon for the purpose of tournament bowling. Our core pupose has not changed over the years. 

See this page for more on the history of our organization.

Our bowlers compete in a series of up to eight tournaments every year. Bowlers accumulate points based on their performances in individual tournaments and the season high points leaders are invited to a Grand Finals Invitational at year’s end.
