I was the first member of our family to get into bowling, I got into it cause i had nothing better to do with my time so my mum suggested that i tried bowling and just look where it gets you today??

I have made heaps of friends from different states and its just an awesome sport, i just hate it when people judge you when you tell them that the sport you do is bowling cause personally bowling is an awesome thing to do.

I got into bowling through school in grade 3. It was called the talent-identified port-o-bowl program. A carpet with a rubber ball and plastic pins. it seemed cool to throw something down and hit something hard.
Got picked by a coach back then and she's still my coach to this day. It was probably the best thing for me back then.

i got into bowling in when i was 13 in grade 8. my mum was at the shopping centre and she saw some learn to bowl classes and signed me up, after those 2 lessons i was hooked, and joined a league. the next year i made state team, 2 years after that i was rolling a 174 average, and got the centre record at my centre of 287. made captain for youth state team in 99 then gave up bowling in 2000 until 2007 since i realised i had made a stupid mistake of leaving in the first place. only just starting to regain all the hard work i had put in earlier, and now roll a 193 ave at the moment, which i hope to make 200+ next season. i will never give it up again lol.

when i was 11 my then tennis coach told me i needed to strengthen up my wrist so he suggested to join a league in ten pin bowling. When i was 12 i gave up tennis after playing for 7 years to became the first member of my family to do ten pin bowling.

So bowling runs in my blood

I was bowling late in the 2000 - 2001 school holidays.
A lady doing recruiting come and asked if I was keen on bowling league.
...thats pretty much how I started.

 

[rpac23]

I got in when Nikos Koumandakis recruited me and my friend Benjamin Adams into a doubles league at Manhattan Superbowl Mascot. We ended up winning the thing too.
I'll never forgive Nick for it though...
