What is it?

The MYBS is designed to train youth bowlers to a very high level of expertise in five pin bowling. It focuses on having the student work with bowling instructors and "Professional" bowlers who have achieved recognition for their bowling skills at the national level. Two instructors and one professional are assigned for every six students, ensuring a high level of individual involvement. This leads to greater concentration and skill reinforcement.

How does it work?

The majority of time spent with students is on the bowling lanes with the instructors and professionals. It is a very "hands on" type of session. Students will also participate in a series of classroom sessions to explore the mental aspects of the game. Topics include:

Focus & Self Talk Cues
Handling Distractions

Application:

The student body is selected through an application registration form that is submitted by the bowler. A maximum of 40 registrations will be accepted. Exceeding this number will reduce the effectiveness of the session.

Please contact Rossmere Lanes at 334-3627 (e-mail: rossmerelanes@home.com) for more information.

Tom Paterson:

Tom has once again been invited to attend this year's school. Organizers, staff, and the students all felt that Tom was indispensable in conducting a successful school. 

Other Info:

The schedule begin on Friday and continue through the weekend.

Student performance will be videotaped to provide technical feed back for review throughout the following season.

 Program Evaluation:

Feedback and camp evaluations from a random selection of persons in the bowling community have allowed the Federation to implement the following changes:

A Sport Physiologist may (depending on cost) be commissioned to make a presentation to the students during the session.
Friday's "on-lane" time will be extended to provide more time for the instructors and professionals to gather data and provide feedback to the students.
There will be more emphasis on "Pro-Speak", the session where students get to pose questions to the panel of professional bowlers. This session are very informative as the pros discuss their feelings and techniques for dealing with high stress situations of competition.
