Bowling Etiquette
- Be mindful of your turn: wait until the bowler on the lane next to you has finished their approach before stepping up. Take your turn promptly so play can continue smoothly.
- Stay behind the approach: Only the bowler should step onto the approach area. No food, drinks, or bags should be on the lanes or the approach.
- Use the right ball: Choose a ball that feels comfortable and return it to the rack after use. Avoid throwing onto the rack or trying to force stack balls.
- Be aware: Watch where you're swinging! Especially when there are children around. Keep walkways clear and be mindful of other bowlers.
- Respect the space: Clean, dry shoes ONLY. Bowling shoes are provided for free and are the only shoes that should be on the lanes. Report spills or equipment issues to volunteers immediately.
- Practice good sportsmanship: Celebrate great shots and encourage one another. Keep language and behavior respectful and family-friendly.
