strange but my daughter who attends a disablity center for adults shes 22 plays bowling with them its one of there favourte activty, she also plays green grass bowling these activies they have to go on a minibus to do,
they wanted her to join in with the greengrass bowling last year but she was having problems travelling so this year we came up with travel sickness tabs so she can join in and then she was picked to play in the team,
and went to a championship match and had to travel up country and stay over night but they came joint first,
but was awarded second place trophy down to points,
so they can do it
Lillian, that's awesome you found a league. My son has been in a bowling league since he was 5 the people at the ally have watched him grow up, he's almost 13, he has also been to the state competition for the last four years. If they have this, i bet your child would be great. My son is to old for the day league now, so they started a Saturday night league, for a handful of kids. RAZZLYNNE1738980.6027430556I have talked about putting my son on a bowling league. I am glad i read your post. Thank you for the tip. He is in baseball every year. But i hope he likes to bowl as much as i do.Great idea!Lillian:
I couldn't agree with you more!! My son was on a summer bowling league & loved it. He loves bowling & has had a few bowling birthday parties. It's great for him because it's indoors. He has a hard time dealing with the heat because of one of his medications he is taking for Tourette's so outdoor sports are not good for him. Not to mention the fact that we live in Florida. He follows directions, waits for his turn & does really well.
My son decided to get a group of his friends together for a bowling league. He did this, and they go every Saturday and bowl in a junior league. I went todayand watched, and I was so impressed! There were kids ranging in age from about nine or ten to about sixteen. They were divided into groups based on averages, and they played other groups with similar averages. There were all kinds of kids there, and, obviously, there were some with disabilities or "issues," yet everyone played together and had a great time. I thought to myself, this is what it's all about...playing as a team, enjoying the competition, everyone getting to play, and everyone leaving with a smile on his/her face.
For all you parents of ADHDers, who wonder if your kids will EVER be able to participate in some kind of sport or group activity, you may want to check out junior bowling leagues. If your child does not have friends s/he can get together to form a team, your child will be placed on an existing team with kids who have similar bowling averages.
Just a thought.
That's a great idea.
