Bowling Etiquette

Bowling Etiquette

We want you to have an excellent time while bowling! For everyone to have an equally great time please follow our recommended bowling etiquette guidelines.

  • Ask for permission to try another bowlers ball.
  • Respect your lane’s boundaries and don’t cross into other bowlers approach area.
  • Yield to bowlers on your right if you’re up at the same time.
  • Step off the approach after the ball hits the pins to wait for your next ball or turn.
  • Wait for the pinsetter machine to complete its cycle and raise the sweeper before throwing your ball.
  • When you have finished bowling please return your 10 pin balls to the racks and shoes to the bowling counter.
  • Please select only one bowling ball to use at a time.
  • Always wear bowling shoes as street shoes ruin the approaches and can be dangerous.
  • When your group is finished bowling, please allow your lane to be available to other bowlers in a reasonable time.
