Learn to Bowl with Bowl Patrol
By Matt Stevens
You know 2021 is in full swing when schools around the country begin returning to class for term 1 this week!
A new term means the start of new Bowl Patrol programs with TBA registered centres across the country! Kids love bowling so why not teach them how through Bowl Patrol?
Bowl Patrol is Australia’s only national ‘Learn to Bowl’ TENPIN BOWLING program. Designed for primary school children of all abilities, Bowl Patrol is as an 8-week program that typically starts the second week of each term – but this can be adjusted to suit the needs of our learners.
It teaches the fundamental skills of the sport and improves co-ordination and balance. Bowl Patrol is FAST, FUN and ACTIVE and promotes skill development, a sense of achievement, socialisation, and teamwork.
In other exciting news – kids can sign up to Bowl Patrol using State or Territory funded vouchers. $99 for first-time Patrollers or $79 if your child has done Bowl Patrol before. Simply add the voucher code (or Medicare no. in SA) when completing your online registration for Bowl Patrol at bowlpatrol.com.au. Pop us an email [email protected] or message @BowlPatrolAus on Facebook if you’re not sure.
