2025 Hall of Fame inductee: Diane Leseberg

Diane Leseberg, found encouraging youth bowlers at the County Youth Tournament, March 2026.

Rolling Forward: How Diane Leseberg Shaped Generations of Youth Bowlers

In 1991, Diane Leseberg took on the role of Junior Program Director at Buena Lanes, revitalizing a program that had been dormant for many years. Through her unwavering dedication and commitment, she played a pivotal role in the growth and development of youth bowling throughout the region. Diane has been instrumental in organizing and sustaining successful youth leagues and tournaments across the county.

One of her most remarkable achievements is maintaining a youth league that has operated continuously since 1977, making it the longest-tenured youth league in the county. Over the years, countless bowlers who began their journeys in Diane’s programs have gone on to compete at the local, national, collegiate, and professional levels.

Diane is in her element, at the VCUSBC County Youth tournament.

Diane’s passion for the sport has fostered a strong sense of community among young bowlers and their families. She is deeply committed to ensuring that youth bowlers are given the support, mentorship, and opportunities they need to succeed both on and off the lanes. Her contributions to youth bowling have been invaluable, leaving a lasting legacy not only in the sport, but throughout Ventura County.

Diane Leseberg’s example serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of investing in the future of bowling.

In 2025, the VCUSBC Board of Directors inducted 5 talented and influential members into the VCUSBC Hall of Fame. Each inductee will be featured in the 805 Pin Press blog. We begin with Mike Svec!

Mike Svec’s induction into the VCUSBC Hall of Fame is a well-earned recognition of more than three decades of service to Ventura County bowling. A pro shop operator for 31 years, Mike has been the driving force behind Mike’s Pro Shop, which has called three different bowling centers home over the years and is currently located at Harley’s Camarillo Bowl. Through every transition, his commitment to bowlers and to the game has remained constant.

Beyond the pro shop, Mike has been a cornerstone of the local bowling community as a longtime league president and league secretary, running both winter and summer leagues for many years. His leadership, organization, and dedication have helped keep leagues thriving and welcoming for bowlers of all skill levels.

Known for his friendly demeanor and deep knowledge of the sport, Mike is always willing to help, whether someone is picking up a bowling ball for the first time or fine-tuning their game after decades on the lanes. His passion for bowling and genuine care for people have left a lasting impact throughout Ventura County. Nominated for the Hall of Fame by Doug Addison, Mike Svec’s legacy is one of service, mentorship, and an unwavering love for the sport of bowling.
