Benefits of Teens Engaging in Sports like Bowling

Benefits of teens engaging in sports like bowling helps them in physical, social and emotional aspects by staying fit, gain more self confidence and take responsibility of their own actions. Additionally,  teens learn to train their bodies, their minds and their spirits not only to survive in their world, but to thrive in nearly every aspect of their lives. Here are some of the key benefits teens get from engaging in sports.

Physical Fitness

It nearly goes without saying that sports can help teens stay fitter. Some people have trouble seeing the physical benefits of certain sports, though. Bowling, for instance, might appear easy to someone who has lifted weights or run marathons but hasn’t bowled. However, bowling is an intensely physical sport that provides an effective workout and increases stamina for other life activities.

Self-Confidence

Teens who play sports regularly display more self-confident behaviors than those who don’t. They tend to look people directly in the eye, do things on their own initiative when appropriate, and are less vulnerable to peer pressure outside the team.

Better Grades

Studies have shown that teens who play sports do better academically. They stay focused on assignments and work harder to accomplish excellence than others with their same intelligence levels. This busts the myth of the dumb jock who does well at sports but barely passes each grade level in school.

Better Relationships with Adults

Getting along with adults can be quite a challenge for many teens. Yet, when they choose to play team sports, they are forced to overcome this difficulty if they want to excel. Even those who do individual sports often answer to a coach, giving them practice in interacting with adults. Teens who do sports also get more support from adults.

Better Relationships with Their Peers

Teens who engage in sports have an excellent chance to bond with their peers. As they do, they also develop better social skills that are not only useful in the sport but also in the rest of their peer relationships.

Less Risky Behaviors

Teenagers sometimes seem prone to behaving in ways that are extremely risky. Whether that’s driving recklessly, drinking or doing drugs, or being sexually promiscuous, the results can be disastrous. However, studies have shown that teens who play sports choose these behaviors less often. While they learn to take calculated risks in play according to their coaches’ directions, they also have many chances to learn the negative effects of rash actions.

More Community Involvement

Teens who work towards goals in their sports practice also enjoy working toward goals for their community. Specifically, teens involved in sports also do more volunteer work than the typical teen.

Understanding Failure

Young people can also learn what it means to fail by playing sports regularly. That is, although failing is undesirable, it is not the end of the world. They develop the skill of learning from mistakes. They also learn to move on without dwelling on past errors.

More Responsibility

During team sports, teens learn to take responsibility for their own actions. They learn that what they do affects their team members as well as the community. Teens come to understand that they need to do their part, regardless of how they feel or what seems easiest at the moment. Sports is not only a fun way to spend time, but it is an effective way to build character and life skills.

Make Your Child’s Next Birthday Party Extra Special!

How To Make Bowling Parties Extra Fun

Kids’ birthday parties in Etobicoke or anywhere become a little fancier year after year, and fancy may easily imply pricey. Holding kids birthday parties in Etobicoke or elsewhere don’t actually have to be costly to be enjoyable. One particular birthday celebration concept that won’t break the bank is bowling parties!

Here are 3 ways to have personalized bowling parties for kids’ birthday parties in Etobicoke or anywhere else:

  • Entertaining BEFORE bowling parties start
  • Begin the imaginative component of your celebration prior to heading to the bowling alley. A great idea could be to check local party or arts and craft stores for bowling related trinkets. If you are organizing a kids bowling party, find some low-cost bowling t-shirts for the children to put on or find some good iron-on transfers and assist them to iron on their very own bowling images before heading to your local bowling center. This is sure to get the kids ready and in the mood to play.
  • Themed pre-game goodies
  • With regard to snacks before you head out to the alley, use the shape of the bowling ball to fit the theme. As we all know bowling balls are round, much like cakes, cookies and muffins. Bowling parties can start at home with you making sweet treats with 3 holes to mimic a bowling ball. For kids birthday parties in Etobicoke you’ll have no issue with planning the refreshments when you’re at the alley. At Planet Bowl, our kids bowling packages come with tasty and delicious food that is sure to please young and old! Just contact us to make a reservation and arrange bowling parties as per your convenience.
  • Decoration for Bowling Parties
  • Accentuate the bowling lanes to create the party mood! It’s best to have a few people go a little ahead of time and set up the bowling lanes so everything is ready when the birthday boy or girl and the guests arrive. Several balloons and a nice sign help inform visitors that a celebration is happening. You might even find some bowling balloons to arrange by your bowling lanes, or just use round balloons in different colours. To get the best experience, don’t simply just decorate your kids bowling parties with typical party decor. Ensure you do it right with a bowling parties theme – this is sure to get all the guests fired up to get involved and every person is sure to have a great time!

If you’re looking for the perfect place to hold kids bowling parties in Etobicoke, look no further than Planet Bowl. We are your neighborhood bowling alley for the Etobicoke, Mississauga and Brampton area. Specializing in bowling parties and kids bowling parties, we offer amazing kids birthday party packages that include a FULL hour of bowling, an hour in the party room, pizza, popcorn, soft drinks, party invitations and free shoe rentals. Just bring the cake and enjoy!

Heard of Cosmic Bowling? It’s out of this world! Read on to find out more

What Exactly IS Cosmic Bowling?

Picture this: The lights are dimmed. Ear-splitting music rocks the room. The disco ball rolls. Neon lasers flash around the room. Welcome to cosmic bowling – The ultimate glow in the dark bowling experience that will rock your senses!
Cosmic bowling is not just regular 10-pin bowling. The cosmic bowling experience is a rock & roll bowling event for the whole family or a fun-filled evening for friends.

The cosmic bowling tour…

Imagine the pins lighting up. That’s right! In cosmic bowling the pins glow in the dark & so do some of the bowling balls, gutters & more! That is primarily why the game is played in low light conditions. This fluorescent effect gives the entire centre a “cosmic” feel – hence the name cosmic bowling. Many bowling centres offer cosmic bowling for both adults & children. Children especially love the entire glow in the dark bowling experience & are especially entertained when their clothes (whites) glow in the dark! Many bowling alleys may even offer cosmic themed bowling parties for kids birthdays so that is something worth checking out if your child’s birthday is around the corner. At Planet Bowl that offer would be on Sundays; if you book a birthday or corporate event after 4PM, you will feel the Xtreme Bowling Experience!

Cosmic bowling is most popular at night especially since a dance club atmosphere is created. Many centres offer this kind of bowling on events or special occasions like New Years or Halloween which can be extra fun & exciting.

Bright neon lighting, techno music & bowling in the dark may not be for you if you are a professional bowler – you might find the lights & loud music distracting. In this case it’s best to call the centre & go at a time when regular 10-pin bowling is available. However, if you want to introduce your kids to bowling, cosmic bowling is a fun way to get them to start and enjoy bowling!

If you reside in the Greater Toronto Area (Toronto, Mississauga, Etobicoke, Brampton) check out Planet Bowl for our awesome cosmic “Xtreme” bowling nights. The Xtreme glow in the dark party starts Fridays & Saturdays at 8pm & goes all the way till 2am (Also Sundays at 4-Midnight). If you want to inquire about a bowling party, corporate event or have any general questions feel free to give us a call at 416-695-2695 anytime during our business hours or you can email us at info@planetbowl.ca.

Quite simply put, Xtreme bowling at Planet Bowl is all the fun of a club but with a bowling ball. You really have to try it for yourself to see what it’s all about!
