Guest guest Posted November 23, 2011 Report Share Posted November 23, 2011 Hi All, This year Trent started at SO Bowling - as there can be with organisations there has been a few unsettled moments within management. Although my sister is treasurer her son is not involved with bowling, I have been very critical of the running of the night and possibly being unfair comparing it with another league Trent plays in. The girl who managed the night is moving to another area of the state and will no longer be involved, apparently I have been considered to take over, which I'm not prepared to do at this point in time but happy to help out with things such as the paperwork and new ideas. As such, I was wondering how leagues in other areas operate. This group - The athletes choose at the end of the preceding year who will be in their team, regardless of ability it is all about having fun - don't get me wrong here but am concerned they are not learning and improving. There isn't anyone to show or advise how to improve your game. They do play each week using the two lane system - I'm not sure that is necessary all year - think it would be better to concentrate on improving your game, then when regional/state games are looming to then concentrate on the finer aspects of dual lane games ie. Waiting your turn. Many of the athletes do not put their bowling first - frequently not turning up but pre bowling. Pre bowling is fine but a different ball game so to speak. One girl in Trent's team this year, for 6 months only played every second week as she played netball the alternate week. She won a couple of Bowler of the week, on these pre bowled weeks. At the end of the year, all participants receive a trophy . After State games in September, a number of athletes have been absent, I'm guessing the number has dropped by half. No doubt this number will increase at the beginning of the new year. Apparently Presentation night - when trophy's are handed out will this year be poorly attended - why I have no idea. We are not going as it doesn't appeal to me - time or venue. Would really love to hear of how other SO run their bowling competition Thanks for taking the time to reply Keep smiling Jan - mother of Trent 27 yo w/DS from the LandDownUnder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
