Bowling PE is a physical education course in which students develop coordination, balance, control, focus, strategy, and game awareness through active participation in bowling. To earn credit, students must physically participate in bowling in Pocatello or at a local bowling alley or in an organized bowling setting in their area. Each session must include at least one full scored game of bowling. Students must provide documentation showing they completed six bowling sessions over the course of six weeks.
