ing Camp in London. I went to the camp, to hope-

fully, learn a few things

that I could use to coach the young bowlers at Bowl-

erama Royale and help them improve and become

better bowlers. What I got was more than I expected.

Starting from the meet and

greet on Friday night, all that attended, were

treated to an exciting and fun filled weekend of

coaching and learning how

to improve our bowling skills. Brad and Zach, took

us to the park and spent the morning running us

through many different drills, using a rope, bowling

pins and balls, we work on

balance, speed control, hand position, grip pres-

sure and much more. Watching the bowlers run-

ning through the exercises

and having a lot of fun, was exciting to be part of.

When we went to the

bowling center, after about 3 hrs. outside, working on

the mechanics of bowling,

we were all impressed by the dramatic improvement

of the bowlers. The results were phenomenal. Brads

approach to training out-side away from the bowling

center had fantastic re-

sults, and this was just one day! I myself was sur-

prised, on how much we learned this weekend. If

any one you, children or

adults that have a chance to attend one of Brad`s

camps, I would highly rec-ommend it. Your return on

investment will be tenfold. In closing, I would like to

thank Brad Angelo & Zach

Wilkins for putting on the best learning experience

that I have ever had and for turning me on to the

BOWL U website. Special

thanks to the Mitchells and Bowlerama Royale for a

successful weekend!

You might think a park is an unusual place to gather

for a bowling camp, but for

bowlers attending the re-cently held Brad Angelo

Bowling Camp in London, Ontario, it makes perfect

sense. Each morning, par-ticipants rotated through a

series of drills out in the

sunshine. They tossed pins, balanced along ropes,

bowled up grassy slopes and had a lot of fun. After

a brief classroom discus-

sion, it was on to the lanes where the drills were prac-

tically applied to each bowlers game. Using the

Bowl U principles and train-ing drills developed by Rick

Benoit, Brad Angelo

teaches bowlers how to improve their game and

take it to the next level. Coach, Paul Rideout had

this to say about the camp:

On August 24 and 25, I had the opportunity to at-

tend the Brad Angelo Bowl-

From fundraising, tourna-

ing the program alive. In

just a short time frame,

Robin and the Bowlerama

Barrie bowlers put together

a mini PRO AM. The re-

sults and fun was a huge

success. Awards were pre-

sented to the top 3 teams.

Robin is hoping that this

becomes a yearly event
