Silver program

A USBC Coaching Silver class is three days of training designed to increase coaching skills and professionalism. The class is designed for advanced-level bowling coaches who have passed USBC Coaching Bronze training.

Silver training develops the relationships between bowling ball surfaces and dynamics, lane surfaces, topography and oil patterns and the finite adjustments to the physical game required to become a high-level competitor.

This training is recommended for coaching high-level bowlers, such as collegiate athletes, tournament bowlers and regional and national tour professionals.

Silver training focuses on coaching advanced techniques and skills and covers:

Finite adjustments to physical game
Building a bowling ball arsenal
Advanced lane adjustments
Matching ball surfaces to lane conditions
Advanced mental game concepts
Using video analysis
Establishing practice plans to develop options in competition
