Four step Straight Roll: Drill 1 Counting

Stance: Back slightly bent forward and feet aligned or left foot slightly in front (righties). Lefties
should have their right leg in front. Also, feet are close to one another. Use your arms for
balance. Hint: follow the wood work to keep a straight trajectory.
1. First step should always be done with your dominant leg
2. Second step follows the same distance as the first step
3. Third step is shorter than step 1 and 2. This will be explained in the next drill
4. The final step (non dominant leg) should a lounge power by step 3
Every member in the group should do 5 cycles of the four previous steps. One person at time on
the runway and team members need to alternate every cycle. Dont forget to count the steps.
R = Right Step L = Left Step
Foot Work (righties): R, L, R, L
Foot Work (lefties): L, R, L, R
Four step Straight Roll: Drill 2 Sliding
Instead of a lounge on the final step you will slide from the end of step 3 to the end of step four.
If you are not sure how this should look called the instructor.
3. Third step is shorter than step 1 and 2, because it will helps us produce enough power to
slide
4. The final step (non dominant leg) should slide from step 3. Also, weight should transfer
to none dominant foot while the dominant foot is dragged by the force produce from step
3. Hint: Toes should be touching the runway in step 4.
Start from step 3. Take a small step with your dominant leg and slide on to step 4 (none dominant
leg). Every member in the group should do this cycle for five times, then proceed to add the first
two steps and do five more cycles. Dont forget to alternate every cycle and to keep count.
Four step Straight Roll: Drill 3 invisible bowling
Go to the stance for foot work. Now, you will add a few things to this stance. First, keep your
elbows close to your body. Then, pretend you are holding (3 finger grip) a bowling with you
dominant hand and with your non dominant hand you are cradling the ball close to your chest.
Using this stance you will be able to perform the pendulum swing. Hint: when you do the
pendulum swing always lock your wrist and keep the thumb facing upwards.
1. First extend your arm to a 45 degree angle ahead of you.
2. Then your arm should be facing the floor going on a back swing.
3. Then arm should be at the top of the back swing beginning its forward motion.
4. Finally, your arm should do a forward swing and have a follow through.
Everyone can practice this drill at the same time. Just spread a little. Get in the cradle stance and
proceed by counting from 1 through 4. By following this sequence you will produce a pendulum
swing motion with your arm. Do this drill for 15 cycles. Dont move your feet just your arm.
Four step Straight Roll: Drill 4 Putting it all together
Stance: Cradle stance
Step 1 (dominant leg): In the first step your arm should be extend to a 45 degree angle
ahead of you.
Step 2 ( non dominant leg):In the second step your arm should be facing the floor going
on a back swing.
Step 3 (dominant leg): In the third step your arm should be at the top of the back swing
beginning its forward motion.
Step 4 (non dominant leg): In the fourth step your arm should do a forward swing and
have a follow through that can extend beyond head level.
Start slow and count the four steps. It is very important that when you take your first step with
the dominant leg you also start the pendulum swing. Starting this two motions at different times
will lead to an imbalance of the throw. On the task sheet write down your group members names
and evaluate their straight roll for this drill. Hint: when preforming a straight roll try to keep
your head on the target
 Skill Development for Advance Rolls
(in School Gym)

As bowlers become more familiar with the basic concepts and techniques to
effectively execute a straight roll, the next challenge can be embraced;
advanced rolls. The two main advanced rolls are the hook roll and the curve
roll. Both used in different situations and for different purposes. A hook roll
is used for attempting a strike by hitting between the one and three pin
(right-hand dominant), or one and two pin (left-hand dominant). The curve
roll is primarily used for split situations to apply more momentum upon
contact between the ball and the intended pin(s). Both rolls require plenty of
practice to master; our focus is technique.
You and your partner will practice all required cues to properly perform a
hook roll using a rubber bowling ball. Complete the chart below to evaluate
yours and your partners performance.

 Skill Development for Spares

Random Single Pin

Purpose Increase the bowlers ability to make spares.
Instructions Coach places the following pin numbers in a bag to draw: 2, 3, 4, 6, 7 and 10.
Coach will draw a number and the bowlers will need to line up to shoot that spare. Bowler will
mark hit or miss on the 3-6-9 tracking sheet. (Repeat 3 times for each pin)
Variations/notes Bowlers can draw the pin numbers themselves; coaches can choose a more
suitable target if necessary. Coaches need to watch the bowlers to make sure they line up
properly and that the ball makes contact with the intended spare or teammates can watch and
make the call. Bowlers should turn in their tracking sheets. Coaches should keep records to track
each bowlers progress.

example, after using the hook in the first throw, Timmy decided to use
a straight roll in his second throw to hit the last pin standing and get a
spare.
Cognitive Domain Unit Goals:
Students will be able to differentiate situations in which different
throws are needed for success. For example, in the first throw students
need to perform hook to target pins 1 and 3, while going for a spare
students should perform a straight roll.
Students will demonstrate their knowledge of bowling by performing
well during weekly quizzes throughout the 3 week of the unit.
Students will evaluate each other objectively during the straight roll,
hook, and curve with the use of task sheets.

Pin Setup

Straight Ball
Hold the thumb in a 12O clock position with the fingers underneath the ball.
Maintain the hand position throughout the swing, with no arm rotation during the release of the
ball. Keep the wrist firm, and the palm facing the pins as the ball is delivered; maintain a straight
follow-through.
Hook Ball
Keep the wrist firm and the thumb in a 10:30O clock position. This position must be maintained
throughout the swing.
As the ball is released, the thumb comes out first, and the fingers lift and impart a rotational
effect to the ball.
Carry the hand upward and forward toward the pins in the follow-through. Do not side-wheel,
twist the arm, or intentionally spin the ball.
Curve Ball
Keep the wrist firm and the thumb in a 10:30O clock position. Wrist will be rotated outward as
arm is moving backward.
As the arm makes its way forward begin rotating the wrist inward and releasing the thumb first
while fingers lift up after.
Follow through the swing.
 Task Sheet for Spares

The arrows are located about 15 feet past the foul line toward the pins and are in a triangular
configuration. The arrows are also commonly referred to as dovetails. It is easier to aim at
something closer than something further which helps with alignment.

Keep your eyes on the arrows from the beginning all the way through your approach.
You can look up once the ball has passed the arrows.
Use second arrow as alignment
If you are standing on the right most likely the ball will go slightly to the left and vice

versa

PART I
1. First ball: Aim at the first arrow (if right handed; the first arrow is on your right and vice
versa with left handed).

2. Second ball: With the rest of the pins standing, try to make a spare.

3. Repeat process until you finish aiming at all 7 arrows

PART II
1. First Ball: Try to set up a split (a pin apart from another)

2. Second Ball: Once set up challenge yourself on picking up a spare by using either a
curve, straight, hook or other technique taught today.

 History
of
Bowling is currently one of the most popular sports and widely recognized in the world.

Bowling
A British anthropologist, Sir Flinders Petrie, recognized objects associated with a pin-like sport

when he discovered a grave of a young boy in Egypt. If he is correct, bowling would originate

from as far back as 3200 BC. William Pehle, however, a German historian, asserted that bowling

began in his country about 300 AD. Although there is not a documented year of when bowling

began, there is plenty of evidence that there was a form of bowling in England in 1366 even after

when King Edward III allegedly outlawed it to keep his troops focused on archery for battle.

Around this time, it became popular to throw a ball at standing objects in attempt to knock them

down.

Ninepin variations were played on lawns around Europe bringing more interest to other

countries. As the intriguing sport began to evolve in the 1800s and make its way to the United

States, gambling was becoming a problem forcing some places to ban the sport to decrease

crime. As a result, the tenpin game came about because of ninepin game being outlawed.

Adding an extra pin gave people a way to keep bowling and exploited a loophole in the law.

Technology made a huge impact on how the game is played today. Pinboys were used

to set up the pins and remove any of the fallen ones between trails of a frame. Manual score

cards were used to obtain the scores throughout the game. Today, new technologies have

improved the bowling ball, electronic scoring, monitors that show the path and speed of your

ball, and many other aspects of the game. Many people bowl on leagues and for fun, families

gather for birthday parties and fun which is what the sport was based on.
 Fun Facts of Bowling

Some forms of ninepin bowling is still played in European counties.

Seattle, Washington is the headquarters of the Professional Bowlers Association (PBA).
The PBA has approximately 4,300 members.
Automatic pin spotters or pin setters are introduced in 1952, slowly leading to the decline

of pin boys.
Indoor bowling lanes made their debut in 1840 in New York City.
A Ham Bone is one with four strikes in a row.
A Wild Turkey is one with six strikes in a row.
A Golden Turkey is one with nine strikes or more.
A bowling ball can weigh between 6 and 16 pounds.
