The new home of USA Bowling, the Bowling International Training and Research Center located in Arlington, Texas, is now open and featuring Thera-Band® products.  As a partner with the Thera-Band Academy, the United States Bowling Congress (USBC) will use Thera-Band products in many exercises designed to correct poor movement patterns and decrease the risk of repetitive stress injuries.  Exercises will focus on scapular and core stabilization and mobilization of the ankles, hips, and thoracic spine. Nicholas Bohanan, MEd, ATC, CSCS, NSCA-CPT, an Exercise and Conditioning Specialist with the USBC, has developed an elastic-resisted shoulder exercise strength training program for bowlers using Thera-Band resistance bands.

The Bowling International Training and Research Center is in association with the United States Bowling Congress and is the only bowling training center recognized by the United States Olympic Committee. The 930 sq. ft. Athlete Performance Enhancement Center is located within the facility and will be the focal point of training for USA Bowling’s adult and junior national teams.  Other bowling athletes who will utilize the facility include many collegiate and International teams.
