First,every person on the team must understand,stick to,and support team goals.If
one person is out for themselves,then that person should sit,or not join the team.
Second,all team members must share team goals.
Third,the collective energy of the team.A great team will have a mix of abilities.The team
must interact well in a way,that will let each teammates strength shine.
The team is the sum of all five bowlers.The interaction of the five bowlers their goals effort,
their mindset not let their teammates down,make the team a cohesive unit.
You have to consider the skill positions.The lead- off bowler,bowler number four,and the
anchor are the star bowlers with bowlers two and three slots in the supporting roles.
The anchor bowler is the one player who you want to make the shot when you need only
one strike for a win.The anchor may not be the best bowler on the team,and may be the
lowest average bowler on the team.But what is important is having a anchor bowler that
responds well to pressure.If the lowest average bowler has no fear,and can strike in clutch
situations and your highest average bowler chocks under pressure.You go with Joe Cool.
The next spot is the fourth spot.The number four bowler is the bowler that in most games
strikes out in the tenth frame.This is where you want your highest average bowler.If the
team gets to the fourth bowler,and are still in position to win,you need someone to
put pressure on the other team.This also puts the game in the anchor bowlers hands.
Next should be the lead-off spot.This is where you want your mos consistent bowler.This
bowler sets the table for everyone else.They keep the ball in play,they get their share of
strikes,but most important they make their spares and fill all the frames.
The second and third bowlers are usually the lowest average bowlers or the bowlers
with the least experience.Usually the second spot is the second lowest average,and
the third spot goes to the lowest average bowler.
