first off read before commenting, recently ive noticed more and more things that bug me a lil. how many of you tend to agree.

1 im tired of seeing bowlers show up for league with a 6 ball bag with all high end heavy oil balls drillled ball out and then complain when the shot breaks down and the lanes hook too much.

2 tired of people doing very little reserch about bowing balls and seeing the numbers and basing a ball choice off that without knowing what the numbers actually mean or how they affect ball reaction.

3 cant stand to see HS practices with coaches settng reading a book not giving any effort to teach bowlers the fundamentals or the pure basics of the game.

4 i see way to many people being screwed on new balls with bad drillings, where the driller just punches a ball up without watching the style, rev rate. or knowing bowlers PAP, and not paying close attention to spans and pitches, even drilling it to the way they wanted not the bowler.

5 whats your?

If the conditions of school bowling bother you, get certified--the ones who are there
did.  Being certified by some bowling group is not enough.  Secondly, if you think that
any coaches are just there for the money, you do not understand the pay relationship
and the time and responsibilities involved.  Regarding a student listening to a family
member and not your coaching--you are not their father.  A student is free to listen to anyone he wants.

 
The pay the teacher gets isn't enough to have to deal with the parents, never mind the time and expense of having to go to the bowling center.

It wouldn't consider any pay a teacher gets as a feast. 

We're getting onto a sidetrack here about H.S. bowling. I think it deserves it's own subject line, so so would one of you please do so.

On this thread, let's just agree that public school bowling classes aren't as well organized as the traditional sports. In fact, generally speaking, they're little more than an "alternative" for those who don't want to participate in wrestling, basketball, football, soccer, etc.

However, this leaves a lot of room for improvement and the potential of a big turn around. Bowling ought to be recognized for what it is: a very challenging sport that's a lot more complicated than it appears to be.

The BUG is that most people think bowling is a sissy sport.

I realize that the subject should be changed, but, a father certainly does't need to be
certified to teach his own child.  That notion is ridiculous.  Bowling is just like other sports in high schools ( golf, tennis, etc.) in that many of these athletes have their
own coaches outside of the school.  They just use schools for practice.  It is not the
Ohio teachers association that keeps you from coaching.  It is usually state laws to
make sure that the coaches are certified and responsible to the school.  While it is
true that many bowling coaches are not sufficient, bowling is not a high priority item in the school and could be easily eliminated.  It is fortunate that opportunity is provided.  Appreciate it for what is.
