Staten Island trio receive
NYS Youth Leader awards
JUNE 10, 2013 – The NYS Youth Leaders has recognized three Staten Island residents for their contributions to bowling during the 2012-13 season.
Ashley Martinez was named Youth Leader of the Year; Joe Calendrillo was named Coach of the Year, and Frank Wilkinson received the Bridging of the Gap award given annually by the state youth organization.
Martinez, 16, has been a local youth leader for two years, serving as secretary of the Staten Island chapter, and also has participated at the state level as a representative at the NYS USBC Annual Meeting in Syracuse last year. An honor student, the 10th grader helps coach the younger bowlers during league play and assists with local food drives and tournaments.
Calendrillo has coached in the Penro Junior Bowling League at Rab’s Country Lanes for 12 years and serves as an official at just about every tournament in the association. A Silver level USBC coach, he was cited for his dedication to the sport and to helping young bowlers achieve their full potential.
Wilkinson, proprietor of Rab’s Country Lanes, is chairperson of the national USBC Youth Committee and is on the board of the National Council of Youth Sports. He has built the youth program at Rab’s to impressive levels; the number of certified bowlers at his center ranks second in the U.S. He was cited for his ability to communicate with all bowlers and for “bridging the gap” between youth bowlers and their adult mentors.
