Bowling is one of the highest participation sports in Special Olympics Canada, and with over 2,100 registered athletes, 5-pin bowling is by far the highest participation sport in Special Olympics BC. Although there are some modifications made for athletes with physical disabilities, most athletes compete under the same rules and circumstances as those on a professional tour.
 
As in all Special Olympics sports, athletes are grouped in competition divisions according to ability level, age, and gender.
