How much would you pay?

[JasonNJ]

There is a 3 day bowling camp in NJ June of next year and the coaches are Fred Borden, Jeri Edwards and Ken Yokobosky. There were no prices listed so I emailed them asking for the cost. I have no idea how much these things costs but my guess would be $600-900.

It got me wondering, how much would you guys pay to attend camp with those 3 coaches?

Depends on number of attendees. I would only pay $600 if 1 on 1 instruction.

If class size (50-75) probably around $60

Good point. I'm sure there will be some 1 on 1 just don't know how much. Here is what they have listed.

Curriculum
Instruction by Gold Coaches on both league and sports patterns
Specific areas of study include understanding equipment, the mental game, grip analysis, physical mechanics, and adjusting to changing lane conditions
Each student receives a personal plan for improving their game and computer analysis of their mechanics on video with voice commentary from one of the camp’s coaches

For comparison a full day of private lesson at Kegel is $550 and a half day is $330.

Full day group of 9+ with 2 instructors is $175 each

I'd actually be interested in attending this, depending on the cost and exact date. Where can I find more information?

I've spent $45 to $120 on coaching for 1 hour over the years. So for a couple of days of coaching with the pros like the one called CampBakes, it's $1500 with 3 bowling balls, shirts, and other stuff. Comes with meals too and a discount on hotel stay for like $50.


It just depends on each individuals desire to improve and budget. When I was in college, I paid the minimum for coaching. Then when I started my career and made money, I paid to see the Pro coaches.

If it's all 1 on 1 training I'd pay no more than $500. If it's group instruction I'd pay $50

Well, I'm not going to talk about cost. But I will talk about the coaches I know. I have worked with Fred Borden and Jeri Edwards for years. They put on clinics for large groups in Akron, Ohio and only charge around $20 and the class runs two days.
I work with Jeri Edwards on a monthly basis one-on-one, and in a group setting on occassion. She is simply awesome. She was a Team USA assistant coach with Fred Borden, and also head coach of Team USA. She is currently the head coach of Team Puerto Rico.
Being held in NJ, I'm sure the cost will be higher than in Ohio, but it's worth it.

Fred and Jeri are both Hall of Fame level coaches. Jeri was the first woman voted as a HOF level coach. Fred winters in Florida but if I have a question or video to show him, he'll always answer! Jeri is a text away as well. I have an appointment with her after Christmas.

Sounds like it would be an adventure to go to the camp, probably some group instruction and with three days and three coaches should have a fair amount of one on one time as well.
I would think I would be willing to pay 350 to 500 for something like that.
In reality I really don't need to travel to get access to high level coaching since a great guy and Gold coach, Richard Shockley lives in my area.
