Bowling has always been a subtle form of team building. The elements of team building : communication,trust, cooperation and fun have always been there. Theres nothing like that high five from the team when a great shot is made or maybe an eeked out victory in a tightly contested match. That experienced commraderie has no age limit. We have been doing team building in our centers for years, and now North Bowl like many others are trying to capture that team building market niche as we constantly search for that 9am-5pm business from corporate America.

Several years ago there was quite the hoopla when someone came up with a true Team Bowling experience called the Baker System. We’re not that fancy here at North Bowl, we just call it horizontal bowling. Instead of bowling down the sheet vertically, you take your turn in the second and third frames  respectively, hence Bowler 1 bowls the 1st, 4th, 7th, and 10th frame of game 1. Bowler #2 bowls the 2nd ,5th, and 8th frame, and the 3rd bowler bowls the 3rd, 6th , and 9th. A nine game set gets in the individuals equivalency of three games, but maybe you just bowl 6 for ecomic or time pressures. You don’t have to worry about handicap and you can send any three bowlers(or more depending on the format)you want and send three different players next week. Truly a team experience…leads to lots of laughs and fun around the office or shop the day after.

We use the Horizontal Bowling in all of out team building programs, but this winter we will be adding the Horizontal Bowling to our next batch of short seasonleague offerings. Try it the next time your out with Friends and Family. Its truly a group experience
