Learning to bowl can open pathways for more regular play. Once you know how to bowl with confidence, you might like to consider:

• Doing another Bowl Abilities program to refresh all your new skills
• Booking in regular practice time either alone or with friends/family/support worker
• Joining a local league – where your scores go towards a competition – maybe with prizes
• Look at becoming a representative of your local association, state or even Australia
• Teaching someone else how to bowl or starting your journey as a Tenpin Bowling coach
• Becoming a registered member of Tenpin Bowling Australia enjoying benefits including score recording, pins for achievements, insurance and access to events, courses, discounts and more!

You might even like to run your own Bowl Abilities program or reach out to local networks to bowl together. We’re also proud of our partners who might have further suggestions for you to consider once you’ve learned how to bowl;

• Special Olympics
• Sport Inclusion Australia
• Deaf Sports Australia

Bowl Abilities is SAFE and FUN – using carpets on the lanes to get the you closer to the pins.

A modified 5-frame game and simplified scoring system promotes SKILL development, a sense of ACHIEVEMENT and SELF-CONFIDENCE.

Meeting like-minded adults promotes SOCIALISATION skills and TEAM WORK.

Working with others increases confidence in a social setting and provides opportunity to develop LEADERSHIP skills.
