About

Hello, my name Coach Jimmy Chavez. I have been an avid bowler since back when I could barely carry a 6 lbs ball. I have studied the game, put in countless hours of practice and learned as much as I have been able to. I’ve always wanted to share what I’ve learned. When it comes to either local or national levels of competition, I’ve competed in both. I am a United States Bowling Congress Silver level coach. I am even sponsored by the bowling retailer website bowlingball.com and have my own bowling YouTube channel, The Average Bowler. If you wish to learn more about the sport of bowling, I would be happy to assist you.

I love seeing my bowlers improve their skill level and the joy they experience as their scores improve.

    I started as a new bowler, with terrible mechanics, thankfully Jimmie is incredibly patient, through his lessons I have brought my average up 30 points and have learned to love the game.

    Coach Jimmy is very knowledgeable, provides drills that can be practiced between lessons and goes above and beyond to ensure my daughter understands what he is teaching. Since working with Coach Jimmy, her average has increased almost 30 pins!!!!

    I was 62 when I decided to learn to bowl with only limited success on my own...I met Jimmy through a mutual friend and began really learning how to bowl. I was lacking in skill, execution and confidence. Through lessons I was able to acquire a better understanding of the game and its ever changing conditions as well as correct some poor habits . Most of all Jimmys warm heart and his understanding the frustration of the sport, he was able to make me more confident in my game. I went from a 130 average to a 176 in a year . My frequency of 190 and 200+ games have increased and I dont get so down on myself when I have a bad game. I would say of all my bowling choices , the decision to take lessons was one of my best! I do continue to take lessons because I know there is so much more that I can learn from Jimmy and I hope before Im too old Ill finally get my 300 game. Bowling is a game of change and learning...the more I learn the better I bowl the more fun it is! Take a lesson it will change your journey in a wonderful way! Thanks Jimmy!

    Frequently asked questions

    I meet with new students and ask what their goals are and discuss how we can work together to achieve them. I then do an initial evaluation of skill level and then discuss strengths and weaknesses. From their we begin the process of making them a better bowler. 

    - Years of experience competing on normal house and sport oil patterns. 

    - experience with working with bowlers of all skill levels. From beginners to collegiate and adult level bowlers.

    - USBC certified Silver level coach

    Standard pricing is $40 per hour plus lane fees. For new clients, the initial session is $50 since it is 1 hour 15 min long as I do a comprehensive evaluation of the Bowler's current skill level. 

    A file is kept for each bowler to track and document progress as well as identifying strengths and weaknesses. 

    Video is used as a coaching tool through use of Coach’s Eye Pro program that allows for analysis of bowler form and technique. All video is erased at the conclusion of session.

    I’ve been an avid bowler for years. I actually enjoy practicing and have had multiple people ask me for tips over the years. I figured the best thing to do was become officially certified and help coach others as best as I can.

    I have worked with a wide range of students. From children as young as 6 up to collegiate and adult bowlers. I even have experience working with wounded veteran service members participating in adaptive sports. 

    I recently supported and participated in Paralyzed Veterans of America National Up/Down tournament. This is where a team consists of three stand up bowlers and one wheelchair bound veteran. The tournament was a huge success and a lot of wounded veterans were able to really enjoy themselves.

    Look for someone who you can just tell loves the sport. Ask them questions about anything and see how they respond. If they show legitimate enthusiasm about helping to make you better, give them a chance. If they’re there only for a quick buck, you may need to find someone else. 

    What part of their game do they feel is their weakest area? How can that coach help to improve their skill set?
