SOAR - Bowling Lane Buddy

Role: Bowling Lane Buddy

Bowling Night is one of our most loved events—and we’re so grateful you’re here to help! Your role ensures everyone has a fun, safe, and successful experience.

Your Purpose

- Treat everyone with dignity and respect. Speak to participants as you would any other teen or adult.

- Oversee a lane with 5–7 participants (track turns and keep the group moving).

- Encourage and celebrate every roll of the ball, gutter balls included!

- Assist with ramps, ball selection, or lifting as needed.

- Watch for frustration or overwhelm, offer reassurance and patience.

- Troubleshoot small issues (bumpers, pins not resetting) by getting bowling staff help.

- Be flexible: some participants may bowl more, others may head to the arcade.
