haha i'm laughing so hard, don't forget that i now know the importance of follow through for between the legs bowling ;)

The best part was the contacts i made at the usbc when asking questions on the process for becoming certified as a Canadian....

all in all the USBC is very helpful.

From the last coaching webinar we had with USBC coaching they mentioned they are going to be adding more resources for the Bronze course online so that the seminar can be a bit shorter and more advanced by getting a lot of the easier knowledge online beforehand. Enjoy it, they give a lot of good information.

The silver one is even better!

Great job.

Yup, there are 4 bronze lessons online that are meant to be precursors to the conference. I would love to get silver someday, but i think bill would kill me if i beat him to it LOL

I took the on-line Bronze courses before hand. Went to the seminar and found out I wasted my time and money. They covered everything I did on-line. Three day seminar and the first two were just a review of what I had already paid for and did on-line. Guess that's what happens when you go during the transition period lol

I'm hoping to go to the Silver in 2013. Hopefully the wife will let me use our tax refund for it.

Well done. Keep going!

Thanks Jay, can't wait to do bronze, just need to figure out the how..

http://www.bowl.com/Coaching/Coaching_Home/Coaching_Certification_Levels/Bronze/ In March and October they have seminars scheduled in Michigan. If I'm correct, that's the closest to you. Maybe contact some local lanes to see if they would sponsor you? Maybe in return you could volunteer to coach the youth program for ____ years to cover their cost? Or hold a raffle, fundraisers, etc.

This might work, the center owner was telling me she looking to start a summer "learn to bowl" program, the other option is that a very nice lady at USBC coaching said she gave my contact info to Frank Buffa, so maybe i might be able to work something out in Canada :D

Either way, i really want to get bronze, looks like a great experience.

oh, bill that's the 2012 schedule, they still need to post for 2013

[75lockwood]

Dead thread dig up!

Wonderful news!

it looks like there is a bronze certification course coming to a bowling ally near me this spring!
