Steve Bates & ABC Staff Our youth bowling program is a great way to have fun and stay fit. Bowling promotes learning of math skills by calculating scores, figuring averages and learning mathematical systems to adjust to lane conditions and spare shooting. In addition, organized bowling programs provide life skills such as time management and understanding winning and losing. There are no barriers to participation and no one sits on the bench in bowling. Enjoy three games of fun each session and free use of bowling shoes. Pick your price - $179 with a new ball or other bowling accessory or $139 without. Transportation is not available through Albany Area Schools district transportation. After school transportation may be available by the bowling alley (call 845-4732).
