What is Roll 'n Strike?
Roll 'n Strike is a Junior sport development program delivered to primary schools throughout Queensland.

The program introduces the sport of Tenpin Bowling to children of all primary ages, via structured lesson plans, and a comprehensive but easy to follow curriculum based Teacher Instructors manual. Our Sport Development staff train teachers in the program, and conduct lessons with the children to demonstrate the program to teachers prior to implementation.

Curriculum Advantages Of Roll 'n Strike
The Roll 'n Strike program links the first 4 levels of Core Learning Outcomes.

No gender issues are involved in tenpin bowling. Males and females learn on a level playing field.

The sport is based on technique not power. One of the leading Australian role modelsl for the sport is a female - Cara Honeychurch.

Health and safety issues are taken into account - risk preventive procedures are detailed in a Teacher Instructors Manual.

Roll 'n Strike is encouraged to be under shelter to complement Tenpin Bowling as an indoor and sun safe sport.

TBAQ are constantly updating the Instructors Manual and can provide ideas for teachers who have talented students wishing to progress and learn more. TBAQ recognise the need to provide activities that will further develop these students.
