BOWLING ETIQUETTE

 Observe common courtesy at all times.

 Be ready to bowl when it’s your turn.
 Let the bowler on the right go first. Never stand on the
approach when a bowler on the next lane is ready to
bowl. Stay out of their field of vision.
 Walk back on your side of the approach.
 Keep your movements or “Body English” within your
area of play. Avoid drifting to the other lane after you
made your delivery.
 Avoid bothering other bowlers as they prepare to bowl.
 Use proper language. Control your emotions and
temper.
 Return rented shoes to the shoe counter and the house
balls to the ball racks after bowling.
 Keep food and drinks behind the player’s area.

SAFETY BOWLING TIPS

 Avoid moisture on your sole.

 Avoid using powder on your shoes.
 Dry your hands before picking up your ball.
 When you pick up the ball from the ball return grasp the
ball from the sides using both hands. Do not insert the
finger and thumb in the ball when picking it up.
 Make sure the area around you is clear before you make
a practice swing with the ball.
 Avoid putting your hand inside the ball return when
waiting for the ball or when the ball is stuck.
