Whether you’re a professional bowler or someone who needs “bumpers” to keep from rolling a gutter ball, the ITRC can help you up your game.
The ITRC is like a futuristic Star Trek bowling alley; it’s super high-tech. There are 14 dedicated lanes and gadgets like biomechanical motion tracking, DigiTrax ball motion technology, robotic cameras that provide digital analysis, and even the ability to eye-track a bowler’s vision.
The high-tech gear is cool, but even more important is the fact that some of the world’s best bowling coaches are here in Arlington. The human element and one-on-one instruction is what makes the experience unique.
There’s also a top-of-the-line Pro Shop (not exactly the same as renting those awful bowling shoes at the local bowling alley) as well as a fully-equipped fitness center. At the ITRC, you can perfect your game at the only bowling training center that sends athletes to represent the U.S. in the Olympic Movement.
