The kingpin, also called a “center pin” or “five pin,” is the pin directly in the middle of the set of ten pins. Hitting the kingpin is crucial to getting a strike. If the bowler hits the group of pins lightly, the chances of this pin to remain standing is high. If the bowler hits the group of pins with the correct force and slight curve coming in, the chances of hitting this pin are greater than average.

Special Friends Bowling has committed to reserve 23 lanes. If we do not use them all regularly, Bowlero may charge us for the unused lanes, charge us increased league prices or take them from us. Therefore, it is expected that all bowlers will be present.
Lane assignments are decided on Friday. Therefore, it is is important that you notify Special Friends Bowling of your absense by 5:00 p.m. on the Thursday before bowling. This includes extended absences such as vacations, seasonal bowlers and Special Olympics athletes. Late notifications due to unexpected emergencies, health issues, and the like are acceptable. However, consistent absence without notification will not be tolerated and may result in you being removed from our group.
