Junior Bowling Coaches
Volunteer coaches are the backbone of all successful youth bowling programs. It doesn't take a high average to become one. What matters most is a person's desire to support and help our children to develop an interest in the sport of bowling

Junior Bowling History
Throughout the years, I never paid much attention to the history of junior bowling; but, when I decided to write about it, I was surprised to learn of how many changes have occurred over the relatively brief history of junior bowling.

Junior Bowling Programs
Kids bowling on Saturday and/or Sunday mornings in an organized and monitored junior bowling program are the future of our sport.

Kids Should Join A League
Junior Bowling has done a lot for them and I hope it will continue to do a lot for them in the future. Whether they stick with the sport or not, however, is totally up to them. I feel that their progress is due in great part because of their participation in an organized program.

Let Them Have Fun
They are still having a tough time dealing with the fact that their two girls aren't knocking down pins every time they throw the ball. Neither of the two adults bowl; but, it doesn't stop them from trying to tell the coaches how to coach their children.

Teaching Junior Bowlers
When coaching junior bowlers, we cannot focus only on the physical and skills-oriented aspects of the sport.

The Perfect Junior Bowling Club
From 1960 to 1967, the Junior Bowling Club of Hilo produced at least one state champion every year - I believe the total number of junior champions was at least 12.

You Got To Know Your Limits
In general, every individual coach can only take a student to a certain level. That is, "the success that that coach has actually experienced is the level that that coach can teach to." (If you have not bowled as a Pro, don't kid yourself into thinking you can teach them to perform like a Pro.)
