Bronze Level Conference
Are you interested in becoming a Bronze Coach?
There will be a Bronze class on February 3-5 at Glenfair Lanes. Coaches
attending this two and one-half day program will receive training that will
prepare them to work with intermediate level bowlers. This training also is
designed to supply individuals with the tools and information to pursue
coaching as a profession. This course continues the development of the four
essential keys of bowling, including the physical game, lane play, equipment
and mental game. Various tools such as drills, videotaping and video analysis
are introduced. On-lane training includes participation in the process of
giving a lesson to a bowler.
