Brockport High School Bowling Curriculum Overview  Bowling Review Sheet (pdf file - 220.5kb)
Bowling at Brockport High School takes place during activity block 3 of the school year (Mid October through mid November). Each bowling class participates in 5, 85 minute class periods which take place at Brockport Bowl. Throughout each five class bowling unit, students learn everything that they need to participate in the sport of bowling. The curriculum includes skill instruction (specifically, the approach, the arm swing, the release and equipment selection). In addition, students are instructed and assessed on the application of thier skill while bowling and the application of strategy applied (i.e. spares etc.). Finally, students learn the in's and out's of scoring, rules and basic bowling ettiquette. Bowling Information: | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | total | | 3 | / | 2 | / | X | | X | | 7 | / | 4 | 5 | X | | - | 3 | 3 | 5 | X | 4 | 2 | 142 | | 12 | 32 | 59 | 79 | 93 | 102 | 115 | 118 | 126 | 142 | A game is made up of ten frames. At the beginning of each frame, the bowler tries to knock down all ten pins. If successful the result is a strike and the frame is over. If any pins are still standing after the first shot a second ball is rolled. If the remaining pins are knocked down it is a spare. If a pin or more is standing after the second shot the result is an "open" frame. The bowler is credited with just the amount of pins that fell. When a spare is made the bowler gets credit for 10 plus the number of pins knocked down on the next throw. No score is marked in that frame until the next shot is made. A strike is worth 10 plus the number of pins knocked over on the next two tosses. The score of each frame is added to the score of the previous frame until reaching a final total after 10 frames. In the final frame, if a spare is recorded, another ball must be rolled to determine how much that spare will be worth. For the same reason, when a strike is made in the 10th frame, two more shots are needed to find out how much the strike will be worth.
