Level 1 - FOUNDATION COACH Level 1 - FOUNDATION COACH Bowling Lanes
Original wooden lanes were literally a series of boards nailed together.
The width of one lane is 39 boards (41 inches)
To help targeting are a series of 7 arrows positioned 15 feet from the foul line. If you are right handed the board numbers start from the right hand side and the arrows are on boards 5,10,15,20,25,30, and 35. Left-handers start counting from the left hand side.
The lane is 60 feet in length from the foul line to the centre of the headpin.

Over time the bowling pin has altered in width and height, from all wood, to plastic covered wood.
Today every pin is certified via the United States Bowling Congress testing process to ensure legality and consistency

Level 1 - FOUNDATION COACH Level 1 - FOUNDATION COACH Bowling Pin Numbers
It is critical to learn the numbers of the pins and more important that your bowlers learn them too.
Being able to recognise the pins that are left is key to sparing methods.
Lane adjustments for striking are also made by understanding pin numbers.
These methods are covered later on.
