The term bowling usually refers to pin bowling (most commonly ten-pin bowling ). In pin bowling, the goal is to knock over pins on a long playing surface known as a lane. More than 1.2 million people compete regularly in league play certified by the United States Bowling Congress.

The earliest form of bowling has been traced back to ancient Egyptian times, around 5000 B.C.E. Artifacts, including nine stone pieces and one stone ball, were discovered in the tomb of an Egyptian child.

Bowling is a lot of fun because anyone can play the sport at any time of the year. Whether you want to play during spring, summer, fall, or winter, bowling alleys will always will be open and ready.
