How many lines do you wait in on a daily basis? You have the traffic lines, grocery store, restaurants, bathrooms, etc. Lines may be a hassle and we here with Indianapolis bowling have decided to decrease that wait or eliminate it altogether. You have the ability to create reservations with Southern Bowling Center at www.royalpin.com. We at Royal Pin have realized the stresses with lines and we want to make your bowling experience the least bit stressful. On our website you are able to reserve lanes for bowling, child birthday parties, and even company events, if less than four lanes are needed. I went to the license branch one day and after waiting in the original line, I was forced to wait in a second line to finally complete my task. Although lines can be a hassle, they can also allow you to meet new people. In the line at Southern Bowling Center, you will automatically have one interest that you know someone else enjoys, BOWLING. The Southern Bowling Center also has a wonderful collection of brightly colored shoes that you are able to discuss with others. These conversations could spark up more conversations and give you the opportunity to make long-lasting friends. SNA
SNOW IS HERE
I called around to our bowling centers today, to see how everyone was doing with their big parties coming up. Southern bowling center has only 3 lanes left and everyone else has several openings.
They will be blowing up balloons, getting party favors together, buying those crazy door prizes and preparing the food. It takes every employee to pull those parties off. Team building Indianapolis is at it's highest when it comes to NYE at the bowling centers. There is a sense of pride when you look at your evening and know that approximately 1000 people celebrated the New Year with you.
The SPORT of Bowling
There are a lot of people that do not consider bowling a sport. Bowling allows for interaction between multiple people. That in essence creates good or bad sportsmanship. That also can allow for great friendships and bonds to be created. Bowling will also allow for relationships between families to increase with Southern Indianapolis Bowling Centers Adult/Junior Leagues. Bowling also gives bowlers exercise. It is always suggested to start off bowling by warming up and stretching. There is always the possibility of hurting your back, arm, or legs. I always stretch before bowling. It is good for your body if you stretch, even without bowling, it will keep your muscles from tightening up. You also will be doing a lot of walking. You will want to talk to friends in other lanes, walking back and forth on the approach to throw and retrieve your ball. Also, flexing your muscles while swinging, turning and twisting can help you burn 170-300 calories depending on your weight. I love the sport of bowling. I created a lot of friendships through bowling. I enjoy staying fit and bowling helps me exercise without realizing it. I also can stay on a regular schedule and it's not a hard one to keep. The best way to make sure you continue this exercise is to join a Southern Indianapolis Bowling League. Bowling will always be considered a sport if you're participating in it for fun or joining an Indianapolis bowling league. There is a bowling center in every city. If you don't think you would qualify to bowl, contact your local bowling center and I guarantee they won't tell you that you don't have the ability. Bowling is definitely the sport for YOU. GET OUT THERE AND BOWL! START EXERCISING IN A FUN WAY!

Moving From One Place To Another
Have you ever had to move? Moving from your home to one that has a totally different scenery, different people, and different way of handling things can be an exciting and scary situation. I recently moved from Western Bowling Center to Southern Bowling Center. This experience has given me a different perspective of many different things. I was at Western Bowl for a total of 6 years and I never imagined having to change centers. At first I was very nervous about everything. I was unsure how the other employees would treat me, how many adjustments I would have to make to accommodate the new position I was given. I was very afraid that if I messed up on anything or didn't understand something I would be looked down upon. Southern has given me opportunity to meet new people and experience a different management staff. Although Southern is on the outskirts of Indianapolis in a quiet area, the people inside are full of life and as fun as can be. They welcomed me in as if I had been working there for years. The center itself is well kept and everyone is willing to help you through any difficult situation. I immediately had to start working with our youth bowling leagues. I discovered that the center is extremely involved with the kids and want to make sure they are enjoying themselves. Every month we celebrate the kids' birthdays by getting brownies, cookies, or another type of snack. We have bowling lessons that are included in the youth league. Another great aspect of the center is our kids bowling parties. Our birthday party host will always be recognized by the silly hat that they choose to wear while assisting with your party. They have wonderful personalities and will help the party with anything that they have the ability to. Our birthday party hosts are going to take any and all stress off of you. Having your birthday party at Southern Bowling Center will make things so much easier and it is a sport that anyone can participate in. I remember the first night I was here I went and introduced myself to the bowling leagues. All of the bowlers were very nice and greeted me with such enthusiasm. Working some nights more than others I have already remembered some of their names. Remembering the names of the bowlers is the greatest thing ever. You're able to personally greet them and having approximately 200 bowlers in the center it can be a very difficult task. When you talk to the bowlers by name or remember a score they bowled, the bowlers realize how much you truly care about them. Working in an Indianapolis Bowling Center has also given me respect for the people that are behind the scenes. Have you ever thought about how the machines are not breaking down or why there are clean restrooms to use? The next time that you go to the Southern Bowling Center, think about all the things that are done to make your experience a great one. Once you learn all the different angles of bowling, you will love Indianapolis bowling as much as I do.

Blogging
We are supposed to blog once a week here at Royal Pin, but I often find it hard to think of a topic for discussion. There are only so many times you can talk about kids bowling parties, laser tag parties and bowling parties. I keep looking for new avenues to write about, but I am coming up empty.
I thought self.. you could write about each center... but, what to say about Western Bowl Indianapolis, Woodland bowling center Indianapolis, Expo bowling center or Southern bowling center, that you do not already know. I could say how Western has a great staff and mention a few of their names. Mark, Susie and Doug. How many of you know them? Did you know that they would love for you to stop by their office and just say hello? Does anyone out there have a funny story to tell about Western?
I am curious about how many times per week you bowl, how many have shot 300 and how many have not broken 100. Do you have a favorite memory of bowling with family? Those are things I think about.
I can remember going to watch my Mother bowl in league. As a kid that was so BORING. Wow..I wish I could see her bowl again. I remember she looked kinda funny going to the foul line (she had the HOP in her approach). She was not a great bowler but her team had such a good time. I remembering them laughing, come to think of it they might have been laughing at her approach. It wasn't until I became an adult that I realized what team building Indianapolis was all about and how bowling memories carry on forever. Share your memories with us. We would love to hear them!
Sometimes I just enjoy watching the bowlers. Everyone has their own style and it doesn't seem to matter if the delivery is text book. Big scores can be shot by just be consistent. Often times bowlers to schedule a bowling lesson with Ray and I am so happy to see their average jump up. Isn't it crazy how picking up a ten pin can make you so excited! What's the most difficult spare for you? I know I could use a bowling lesson on the ten pin. Maybe I should schedule a bowling lesson with Ray.. Hmmm... something to think about.
Enjoy your week!

Bowlers attended the Brickyard 400 together!
Hey NASCAR fans! Did you make it out to the Brickyard 400 this year?
I kept hearing how low attendance was going to be, but did you know it drew in an estimated crowd of 180,000. I’d say that’s quite a few people. Its bigger than most other events in Indianapolis that I’ve attended. I still think fans are loyal and they will do what they can to get out and support their favorite driver – even in near 100 degree weather! Royal Pin bowlers are no different!
Yeah, it was hot. I got a pretty good burn on my shoulders and nose, and had to drink 2 waters to every beer just to stay hydrated, but I enjoyed the race! Opening ceremonies are always exciting – America the Beautiful (Reba McEntire) and the National Anthem (Rascal Flats), followed by the jets flying over always get me pumped up for whatever event I’m attending.
I didn’t attend this event alone. Royal Pin locations Southern Bowl and Western Bowl both had NASCAR bowling leagues. In these leagues bowlers enjoyed 15 weeks of light competition and meeting new people with similar interests. The leagues ended last week and all teams from both bowling centers received tickets to the Brickyard 400.
So Kristi King from Southern Bowl, Doug Hall from Western Bowl, the grill master of Royal Pin Leisure Centers, Jim Doty, several bowlers and I had a tailgate party and walked in to the race together. The tailgate party was a perk of the bowling league. In addition to the race tickets bowlers got parking passes, vouchers for Brickyard souvenirs, free food, sodas, water, and yes, even beer.
Paul Menard’s victory over Jeff Gordon (also a bowling fan) was a bit of a surprise for most. But you don’t have to be a champion bowler to win tickets to next year’s race, just join the Royal Pin’s NASCAR bowling league next year and you’re in. If you’re a real fanatic about NASCAR look for our merchandise bowl league where you can get bowling balls or bowling pins with photos and designs of your favorite driver.
Thanks to all of you for joining the league! You’re welcome to add comments to this post, or upload photos to this or our Facebook Fan page. We enjoy getting to know you outside of they Royal Pin walls as well!

Sharon S. said "Ivan did a great job with our child's party. He was right there when we needed him and was so polite!"
Tanya W. said "I didn't have to do a thing. Our hostess Brittany took care of everything for us."
Tom R. said "Bowling was a great way to keep the kids occupied and my wife happy that she didn't have to have a mess at the house!"

Hi Janice,
I just wanted to thank you for helping us get our team building event at Southern Bowling Center Indianapolis arranged this past Saturday, April 17th.
I can't remember her name, but the manager at that location was extremely nice and helpful throughout our time there.
Our group will definitely be back again.
Thanks again for all of your help,
Robin
