Why I Play Wheelchair Bowling and Why Everyone Should Give It a Try too

I began wheelchair bowling in 2004 as a recreational activity. Little did I know how this sport would help build health/wellness and most importantly community within my life. I joined the American Wheelchair Bowling Association (AWBA) after being a spectator at the 2005 Las Vegas Invitational and became a lifetime member in 2012. Over the years, I’ve enjoyed bowling in as many tournaments as possible across the country. While serving on the Board of Directors with the AWBA, I have developed a strong appreciation for the sport of bowling, as well as the competition, relationships, and opportunities the AWBA provides.

Adaptive Sport Programs on a whole allows the person with a disability to consider the possibility. To reach the unreachable, to achieve the unachievable and to have the adventure of a lifetime doing it. 
I hope everyone can get a  taste of this wonderful adaptive sport sometime in their life. 

If you want to come out and bowl with us, check out the calendar and pick an event where you can join us. 

Thank you, 

Kenneth Hill, AWBA
