Bowling for kids in Sydney

Information on Bowling in Sydney

Is Sydney a great place for your kids to go bowling?

Bowling is among the most favoured kids activities in Sydney because of its leisurely characteristics. It can be played either indoors or outdoors. In an outdoor setting, the aim is to get the ball as close to a target ball as possible. It can be played where the surfaces are grass or gravel. And the best part of playing outdoors is that you can go bare foot bowling! You can use lawn bowls instead of the traditional bowling ball used in indoor bowling. Indoor bowling on the other hand, can be played on a flat wooden or synthetic surfaces. Some examples of indoor bowling include ten pin bowling, nine pin bowling and five pin bowling. The game's mechanics basically includes the player rolling a bowling ball to knock over as many bowling pins as possible.

Children and toddlers can choose from either environment they would like to play  bowling in. The critical part is learning how to start playing. If your kids are just beginning to play, don't worry! It is one of the most family-friendly activities for kids and you get to play a part in helping them make their first strike! Here's how:

• Help your kid choose and find the perfect starting position. You can start with lining up their left foot with the middle dot on the approach. The right foot can go anywhere they're comfortable.
• Let your kids aim for the second arrow from the right of the lane. The goal is to have the ball roll directly on this arrow on its way toward the pins
• Observe the results. One way to adjust your kids subsequent shots, is to pay close attention to what the ball does to find the strike ball. You can adjust the starting position or speed and as your kids get more practice, they will get more comfortable throwing the bowling ball.
