Team USA's Para Bowling team

Posted

The members of Team USA’s Para Bowling team recently traveled to the International Training and Research center to take part in a training camp to build their skills and come together as a team, but it’s just the beginning for the eight competitors proudly wearing the red, white and blue.

The team will continue to serve as ambassadors for the sport and build awareness for the program as they head to Las Vegas for the 2023 United States Bowling Congress team USA Trials. 

The stop in Las Vegas included a friendly match with stars of the Professional Bowlers Association and Professional Women’s Bowling Association Tours who have been part of the Team USA program.

The Para Bowling program for Team USA debuted in 2021 and future members of the team know they have the chance to inspire others to follow their dreams and promote wheelchair bowling through the program and their continued efforts of the American Wheelchair Bowling Association.

The team is excited to be surrounded by the competitors trying to earn their sports on Team USA and Junior Team USA for 2023 while promoting awareness for wheelchair bowling.

Their hope is that the exposure of the recent competition is another move in the right direction to encourage others to participate in the future and continue to build the Para Bowling program.

Bowling Tip by Mike Luongo

Do you find yourself unable to finish your delivery in a strong balanced position?

We offer this week’s tip for any bowler who ends up out of balance at the foul line while delivering your bowling ball.

Being out of balance may be a result of your follow through.

It is very important that when you follow through on your delivery you do not reach out with your arm but reach up with your follow through.

Bowlers who reach out find that the weight of the ball will pull their upper body forward and may cause them to lose their balance.

If you reach up, you stay in a strong solid position and can deliver your bowling ball with accuracy and leverage.
