Coaching can have a significant impact on retaining current bowlers and
developing new ones.
USBC Coaching trains and certifies coaches to teach the sport of bowling.
The USBC Coaching Certification program features a core curriculum with
courses designed to create educational opportunities for coaches.
Electives outside the core curriculum allow coaches to continually refine
their knowledge and skills.
The entry course for all coaches is the USBC Coaching Level I certification.
This training is a great instructional foundation for working with bowlers.
A coach must understand how to teach players at all skill levels the basic
mechanics and balance required in delivering a bowling ball. The USBC
Coaching Level I teaches principles designed to help a coach work with
beginning bowlers, regardless of their age, to develop sound fundamentals.
Coaches who work primarily with youth bowlers and have completed Level I
certification may choose to attend the USBC Coaching Level II training as an
elective or alternative to the USBC Coaching Bronze certification. USBC
Coaching Level II is designed to offer advanced training to coaches
working with advancing youth bowlers.
The next step in the curriculum is the USBC Coaching Bronze certification.
This intermediate level includes the addition of videotaping, bowling ball
motion and coaching instructional methods. A prerequisite to attend a
USBC Coaching Bronze conference is Level I certification.
The National Federation of State High Schools (NFHS) and the American
Sports Education Program require USBC Bronze certification as part of their
technical training for certified coaches. USBC Coaching strongly
recommends that coaches working with any high school program earn the
USBC Coaching Bronze certification.
The USBC Coaching Silver training is the next course in the continuing
USBC Coaching core curriculum; it is recommended for collegiate coaches.
Making correct choices on the lanes defines the ability to compete at
higher levels. Silver training develops the relationships between:
• Bowling ball surfaces and dynamics.
• The types of surfaces.
• Topography and dressing of lanes.
• The finite adjustments to the physical game required to become a high-
level
bowler.
USBC Coaching has many pre-packaged kits, videos, books and tools to
assist coaches, bowling centers, pro shops, and, of course, bowlers. To

faxable order form found in each section.
