And there’s more!...

Bowling is good exercise

Did you know?? Rolling a 8 to 16 pound bowling ball at 17 to 25 miles per hour

down 60 feet of lane uses 134 muscles. Bowling 3 games at 2 balls per frame

will produce the equivalent of a one mile walk and burn 198 calories per hour.

Bowling is a lifetime sport

Did you know that there are league bowlers that are

as young as four years old and as old as 100 years old?!

Bowling is fun

Every year, bowling centers are the #1 birthday party destination for

kids 12 and under. With bowling you have plenty of time to compete in

an activity and talk to your teammates and opponents at the same time.

Bowling is for people of all ages and skill levels

You do not have to be a great bowler to join a bowling league.

In league bowling, a handicap system that uses a league bowler’s

season average is used to give all bowlers an equal chance to win.

If you are looking to improve your skills, there is coaching, clinics,

and camps available to make you a better bowler.

The weather does not affect competitions on the lanes

There are no rain outs in bowling and you never

have to worry about extreme cold, humidity, or heat.
