Welcome Instructors!

The Skills Academy is designed to provide athletes the opportunity to obtain quality training from qualified coaches so that they can develop the skills necessary to progress to the next level. See below for the eligibility requirements and registration form to become a Skills Instructor.

Bowling

Requirement(s): USBC Certification

What It Is

The WF Bowling Skills Academy is a central location where youth bowlers throughout Hampton Roads can find USBC certified coaches to schedule affordable, 4:1, 90 minute practice sessions. We strive to create CHAMPIONS, and do so by ensuring that our instructors have the knowledge and training needed to provide quality and effective lessons.

How It Works

To become a Bowling Skills Instructor you must be, at least, Level I certified with the USBC.

As a Skills Instructor, you will:

  • Create your own schedule. Bowlers will have the opportunity to schedule lessons based on a calendar that features the availability of your choosing. We only ask that you commit to a minimum of one session per month to stay active.
  • Teach lessons. You will be expected to provide quality, level appropriate instruction based on the Warr Foundation Standards of Learning. To ensure that all Skill Instructors understand the desired rate of progression, each instructor will complete a training session hosted by the Warr Foundation prior to giving their first lesson.
  • Receive payment for your services. We know that grooming champions is hard work. To thank you for your dedication to the overall improvement of our youth bowlers, you will be compensated $50 per session taught.
