I want you to love the sport of bowling as much as I do and I want to take you as far as you're willing to go with it.

No matter how you peform, I'll always support you and guide you how to improve.

This is a long haul sport. One that can make you feel on top of the world one game, and at the bottom of a pit another.

I understand this fully. Because of that, I teach the mental aspect of bowling as well as the physical game.

Form is key. Speed control, lofting, being stable, and playing a consistant line will become things you teach others.

I know what you're doing right and what you're missing. Small changes make huge improvements which you'll see for yourself once I show you.

Any question you have, I can answer with absolute truth and confidence that I'm giving you the correct answer.

Guiding you to be the best you can be is my main goal.

The better you perform, the more you'll love this sport. The more you love the sport, the better the odds you of taking it futher.

The number of students vary from year to year. Our 2024 season had 53 athletes.

Absolutely Yes!!

We're here to help you learn and to show you all this sport has to offer. One of our goals is for you is to continue to bowl after the program ends. We want you learn, have fun, and incorporate bowling into your life!!

Practice is on Mondays and Fridays at 5pm till around 6pm from Feb 10th to April 22th, with some days off between. The full season schedule can be found on the Eisenhower Dashboard

Yes. If your parents would like to watch you bowl, you're more than welcome to invite them. We do ask that they do not intrupt practices or coach players. They are able to speak to us as they need to during practices and we are always willing to listen.

Yes. If you choose to purchase food/snacks for your athlete(s), please be reminded;

1. Do Not make it a multiple course meal
2. Do Not eat with your primary hand
3. Do Not forget to watch for your turn
4. Do Not leave your garbage behind when you're done eating

NOTE: If exceptions to the rule become a problem or are a distraction at ANY point in the current or upcoming year, it will be restricted for everyone during practice.

It's Recommended We take note of who shows up and who does not. Players who do not show up to practices risk not being played or potentally removed from the roster if it becomes a routine.

No. Grades are more important than your partisipation during practice and if another activity comes up, just let us know so we're in the loop

No. Bowling practice takes place after school hours, off of school property, but the below attire is prohibitted:

1. No clothing with drug references
2. No clothing with alcohol references

We play a total of 6 matches. Each one is a 2 game series. Each match will last roughly 1 1/2 hours +/-

The Top-16 Tournament occurs at the end of the season and includes the top 16 scorers from the boys and the top 16 girl scores. This competition takes place over 2 days and consists of 15 games. Boys and girls bowl together and you'll be paired up with the opposite gender who finished in the same placement as you (Example: 3rd place boy bowls with 3rd place girl). You are not bowling against your partner, both boys and girls remain competing in their divisions.

You'll receive a shirt which has the current year's Top-16 design and get to bowl against the best players in the confrence if you land in the top 16.

Yes.

Per IESA Rules: Holes or indentations for gripping purposes shall not exceed five and shall be limited to one for each finger and one for the thumb, all for the same hand with no drilled holes exceeding 1-9/16” diameter and 4-1/2” deep. (Note: This includes holes required to install removeable devices). The player is required to use all the gripping holes on every delivery with the same hand except when using a house ball.

Having the thumb hole filled is an inexpensive prcoess which can be done at any of the local shops located in the Resources tab.

NOTE: Violation of this rule will result in taking a 0 for any/all of the frames used, or possible disqualification.

No.

Per IESA Rule Change: If a bowling ball is not publically available for use/purchase, it is not allowed to be used in any IESA match.

NOTE: Violation of this rule will result in taking a 0 for any/all of the frames used, or possible disqualification.

Yes.

There is a bowling equipment room.

Yes. I have a plethra of equipment which is unused, or there is always the use of a house ball and house shoes. The Resources tab has links to various online and local retailers who carry bowling equipment. Their deals change often, so make sure to check that area out if you're looking to shop around.

Yes, but it must stay in your vehicle. Hopefully as time goes forward, we can allocate a storage spot within the school.

No. If you have ANY failing grades, you must correct them in order to bowl. We are notified every week of any student who is ineligable to partisipate.

No. If ANY of the above occour, you will be temperaraly ineligable to partisipate during the timeframes of your punishment or as deemed by the school/Athletic Director.

No. You can not bowl a non-school league during the high school season. If you are on a league, you must complete it or drop out of it within 7 days of the school season begining.

Yes. You are allowed to do 3 non-school tournaments during your school season if you are part of a team. Now, lets say you were the only bowler at a school and therefore you were competing as an individual and therefore not part of a team, you would have no limitations on the number of tournaments which you could partisipate in during your school season.
