One of my goals was to interact with all the kids. I've also had an opportunity to meet with all the parents. It's been pretty easy to get to know all the kids. |
The facility is very nice. The league pretty much got started through word of mouth. Pinheads opened in August 2005, and there weren't a lot of chances to advertise the youth league. But I think we can get it to grow. We have a lot of kids coming in here on Friday and Saturday nights to bowl. There's no reason we can't get them in here on Saturday morning. |
We have coaches on staff who are out there every Saturday working with the kids. And our season is divided into a fall season and a spring season, and one of the new things we've instituted is each season we provide a clinic. It provides a lot of one-on-one coaching time. |
What we're trying to do is establish a real fan base, not like an overnight fan base, because the ones that you work for stay forever. |
