IHSB GPT: Your Bowling Rulebook said:

According to the 2025–26 IHSB Rules, bowlers who turn 18 during the season must complete SafeSport training based on the following schedule:

Any bowler who turns 18 between August 1, 2025, and March 1, 2026, is advised to complete the SafeSport Youth program before their 18th birthday.

To be eligible for state tournament competition, SafeSport training must be completed no later than December 15, 2025, for any player who turns 18 prior to March 1, 2026.

✅ Summary:
If a bowler turns 18 anytime before March 1, 2026, they must finish their SafeSport training before bowling as an adult and no later than December 15, 2025, to stay eligible for postseason play.
