Bowl Patrol uses world-first modifications, including shortened lanes and games, to create striking machines! Learn correct delivery technique, without using bumpers. Bowl Patrol is the perfect stepping stone to league or more regular bowling.
BowlAbilities is an inclusive program designed specifically for older teens and adults with a disability to learn the basic skills of tenpin bowling, socialise and increase activity levels.
BowlAbilities is a 6-8 WEEK program that focuses on the participant’s ABILITY, not their disability. The learning of the fundamental skills of tenpin bowling improves co-ordination, balance, and physical activity levels.
BowlAbilities is run in a safe environment with lots of fun to be had by all. The use of carpets on the lanes gets the participants closer to the pins and a modified 5-frame game and simplified scoring system promotes skill development, a sense of achievement and self-confidence.
