Midweek Coaching
All YBC coaching is free to YBC members!
Coaches Simon Taylor, Paul Beaton and John Akers are at Hollywood Bowl, Woodside Leisure Park on Tuesdays from 4:30pm to 7:00pm (only on school days).
This is your best opportunity to improve your technique and increase your scores.
Simon and Paul’s session runs from 4:30pm to 6:00pm and John’s session runs from 5:30pm to 7:00pm so pick the time (and the coach!) that works best for you.
All ages from 6 to 18 are welcome. Younger brothers and sisters can join in too.
The first hour is played without pins. That’s because it’s fast (no waiting for the rerack) and free (Hooray!) and it helps us to focus on technique without being distracted by the pin fall. We also focus on accuracy at the target arrows which is where you need to learn to aim if you want to get more strikes and spares.
For the older ones, technique is taught using BTBA standard coaching drills. For the younger ones we often use silly games that encourage a smooth straight swing. We do have a lot of fun in the coaching sessions and we have a strong track record with the Peewees (under 9’s) – boys scratch singles and doubles champions this year at The South of England tournament!
After one hour of practice we play one game for £1.50 to test your new skills.
This midweek coaching session is a “must do” for you eager bowlers out there. The regulars are improving fast and collecting trophies.
