College athletes and professionals all have specific training regimens to condition their body specifically for bowling and actually compete on a much tougher playing field than your typical bowler. It is like other sports in the aspect that you can play for leisure.
Maybe it got its name from throwing a ball down a lane, which would sort of be like balling.

Because it is something everyone can do. But I think it should be in the olympics because there are pros. in the world and they would be good to be in the olympics. I think it should be in the olympics and that is my reason.
