We just qualified for the State Tournament yesterday and I was wondering if there's a certain lane patern they have to put down for it.I would think that it would be heavy oil, but anyone know who's been in a state tournament already?

Kentucky....I don't think my team has any chance what so ever but at least i'll be ready

Smash,just wondering,but what does your boy's team average?We only average a 150 which I consider terrible but we finished 3rd in the regular season.Just wondering if it's the same everywhere or if it's true that I'm not facing very tough competition(which i'm not in this league.)

I volunteered back in November to lend a hand with the kids because they practiced across from our shop.  I passed my Bronze in August with nothing to do.  The first day I was announced as the new coach by the center(Wham Surprise).  All I cared about at first was getting them to keep the ball on the lanes and go from there.  Most of the team are seniors and time was critical to getting them anywhere close to competitive.  The best news everyone has consistently showed up and has been receptive to instruction.  We now have 2 Bronze coaches and I'm taking my Silver in August.  Between the 2 schools we have on average 45 students depending on the season sports ie. football, soccer and baseball.  This summer will allows for us to create a real program for development of skills and the promotion of our students.  I've found out quickly there is more to High School Bowling than just the 2 days of practice bowling and an odd meet.  As coaches and sponsors we are very aggressive and work with our students.   I've seen youth leagues where someone sits around drinking coffee and consider themselves coaches.
