Kelly had a great week, defeating several of the top-ranked men bowlers in the world, and hopefully she can truly enjoy the moment and appreciate how it is not only a big deal in bowling, but a major moment in her life and potentially the lives of others.

Our reputation over the years has been built on the quality of our educational program because it works and produces extraordinary results. The skill of our teachers, many of whom have been teaching with us for over 10 years, create the "family feeling", which focuses on you, the individual.

The Ritger Method, a carefully designed program of skill drills, mathematical formulas and scientific techniques, enables bowlers to leave with the tools to constantly improve their game. By providing self-help methods, the bowler can quickly regain balance, timing, consistency, and accuracy, with scores going up accordingly. We ask what you wish to accomplish, and strive to meet those needs. In the process, you will establish techniques to help improve your game, analytical skills to enhance your understanding of the sport and new friendships that often will last a lifetime.

The philosophy of the Dick Ritger teaching program is based on the structure of a pyramid. Starting with the base of the pyramid each level must be solidly developed before you can work on the next level

Bowlers will be taught how to "read" the lane. A formula to play the lanes will be taught to allow students to line up to any lane condition in a maximum of three deliveries. Mathematical spares systems are taught to convert spares.
