Question
Hi right now im in 10th grade and I was trying to decide what I wanted to do later in my life I was just wondering what education is needed to own a pro shop??? I know I have a few years but I was just wondering I figured id either do something with a pro shop or maybe own a center my self I was just wondering if u could help

Answer
If you are serious about a pro shop or a bowling center, I would look at attending Vincennes University in Indiana or Erie Community college in the northeast.  Both have 2 year degree programs in Bowling Lanes Management.

If not, there are pro shop training that is done by Ebonite and others as well.

Good luck,
Chip
