"Dad, Let's Bowl!"

Parenting is a lifelong process requiring active participation from both parents and father's involvement in parenting had proven to have distinctive benefits to a child's development. To support MCYS's DADs for Life programme, SingaporeBowling launches the Father & Child Fun Bowl to promote father and child bonding.

The Father & Child Fun Bowl, organised by SingaporeBowling is introduced to schools onboard the DADs for Life programme. Under this sports programme, the father and child team gets to learn the basic bowling techniques in the bowling clinic conducted by a SBF-registered coach prior to the fun bowl for the participants.

"This is a wonderful programme. All our participants enjoyed the bowling session very much as we felt it helped us (fathers) to bond better with our child." Commented Mr Ben Tan on behalf of the Parents Support Group of Kuo Chuan Presbyterian Secondary School.
