USEFUL TIPS FOR BEGINNERS!
Teaching bowling to a new beginner is both a fun and rewarding experience, particularly when the new student is a child. There is just something about the sights, sounds, and smells associated with a bowling alley that seem to induce a sense of childlike enthusiasm and excitement in people of all ages, which is only heightened in children. Better yet, bowling is a sport that children not only grasp the rules easily, but they can also become quite good at in a relatively short period of time. Of course, the key to effectively teaching any sport is to ensure that the student has fun while they are learning, which makes bowling the ideal sport to teach to a new beginner. With a little bit of effort combined with a few simple tips, the new bowler will be on their way to becoming a "pro" in no time at all.
SIMPLE TIPS TO FOLLOW:
· The first important things before the student even picks up a bowling ball is to make sure that they are wearing comfortable, loose fitting clothes and bowling shoes.
· Secondly, find a ball suitable to the size and strength of the student. It is a good idea for the student to experiment with several balls of varying weights and sizes to determine which one feels the best. Encourage the student to practice the motions of bowling with the different balls and then choose the one that is easiest to grip as well as release.
· Next, the teachers were advice for not bring a new student to the bowling alley during peak hours. Sometimes the noise and activity associated with too many people can act as a distraction to the new bowler. Visit the bowling alley with your pupil during low volume hours where the new student can watch and learn from skilled bowlers perfecting their craft.
· Then, the beginners need to learn how to use correct form in holding, gripping, swinging and releasing the ball. This only promotes self esteem and confidence towards improving the student's game and thus undermines the learning process.
· Next, the tutor needs to teach the student to focus and aim the ball using the arrows in the center of the lane, not the bowling pins as one might expect. By aiming the ball towards the center of the arrows that are relatively close to the position of the bowler, the aim will be much more precise and accurate than directly aiming it at the bowling pins.
· Lastly, once the player has mastered all those skills and techniques encourage them to improve on their speed. The speed of the ball can sometimes make up for a ball that is not aimed properly by causing a force strong enough to accelerate the speed of the struck pins, increasing the chances that those pins will strike and knock down other pins.
· The best thing is now you can play on your own, and apply all those skills that you have learnt. Show your talent and play like professionals! Good Luck!
