Unit 2: Bowling
Have students practice the proper technique while bowling and practice keeping score using a bowling score sheet. Students will learn the basic rules of the game of bowling and be able to explain why this game is considered a lifetime sport.
Lesson 1: Technique
Today bowling is one of the most popular sports. It is a team sport, which requires skill and practice to master. It is also known as a sport that people do for fun with their families or friends.
Proper Starting posture: It is very important to have good posture while you play. Having good posture will ensure more strength in your hit, and more dexterity
-Head up
-Shoulders straight with the body
-hands at 90 degrees to your legs when you have the ball
-Fingers are straight in holes of ball
-Tension until you release the ball, which will disappear and create a free flow of energy to the ball
Focus on your balance:
It is important you are balanced so you can focus your energy on a certain point.
When you release the ball, all your energy has to focus on your left or right foot and if your body is not balancing properly, you may risk sharing only half of the required energy which will lead to a lower release level and, consequently to a slow ball which will not be able to hit the targets. The biggest mistake that all the beginners make is that they are not able to balance properly in order to focus their energy. Most of them use only parts of their energy and then they wonder why they cannot hit the ball with strength.
The Release:
Make sure to bow your arm up and down after the ball is released. This helps keep the trajectory of the ball in the right direction.

Lesson 2: How to hold the bowling ball:
How to hold the ball in bowling it is very important because holding it properly can change the whole course of the game. Like any sport, it takes practice to play well, but if you take it step by step, you can learn to play.
Use both hands:
-With the dominant or “hitting” hand, place your fingers inside the holes, the other hand will help support the weight of the ball
-Keep your fingers straight in the holes because bending your fingers can lead to a disequilibrium of movement which means a bad hit.
-Use your non dominant hand to balance the weight of the ball, helping your lift and balance the ball before the hit.
-Lift the ball until it reaches your chin height, then swing back and release

Lesson 3: Where to aim the ball and why
Aiming in bowling is like throwing a ball in football. You have to establish the target and find the best moment for releasing the ball.
Even experienced bowlers sometimes have a hard time explaining how to aim a bowling ball. Aiming, often times involves a feeling and is not something that can be defined.
Visualize the path before releasing the ball
Look just above the ball to see how if the ball lines up in the center of the platform, if it does then your aim is good. If the ball is on one side or the other, you will need to aim again.
Develop your game, get comfortable
As you practice more and more your aim will get better and better, meaning higher and more consistent scores!
