PRACTICEThe team practices on Tuesdays at Lafayette Lanes from 8:30-11:00pm and Wednesdays at Acadiana Lanes from 8:30-11:00pm. The weeks that we have tournaments we try to hold a practice on Thursday night. During practice we practice the shots we will be using on certain oil patterns and we also practice baker, which we bowl in most of the tournaments. Practice is a time for trying out new shots and finding out what work best for us as a team, therefore we do like to practice without score. After all, practice isn't about who's the best or the worst, it is about making each other better. Along with getting help from our coaches, we also help each other out with our bowling. Many of us bowl the same way, therefore it is very beneficial for us to help each other and not criticize.
RULESConsuming drugs or alcohol during or before any team events including qualifying, practice, tournaments, or fundraisers is expressly forbidden.
ANY MEMBER WHO DOES NOT FOLLOW THESE RULES WILL IMMEDIATELY BE DISMISSED FROM THE TEAM. |
