ICBA CERTIFIED INSTRUCTORS SCHOOL

The International Candlepin Bowling Association (ICBA) conducts instructor’s schools annually at strategic locations in the U.S. and Canada. Locations are determined by demand by the various states and provinces.

The one-day event usually starts at 9:00 am and finishes between 4:30 and 5:00 pm. Classroom and on-lane instruction are conducted by Dan Murphy.  

The intent of the school is to teach students to teach the basics of Candlepin bowling and to provide qualified instructors for any and all ICBA centers. Who should attend?  Managers, counter personnel, proprietors, coaches, junior bowling coordinators, assistants, school teachers, youth directors at YMCA’s, neighborhood clubs, etc.  Any young adult or adult seriously interested in helping a center with the instruction of Candlepin bowling.
