Michael Flannery is a graduate from the Dick Ritger Academy for Coaches and the only Ritger Level III Coach in Ireland. He is also a certified Phase 2 ITBA Coach.

Complete Bowling Instruction available from Beginner to Advanced Bowlers using the Ritger System.

The Ritger "method" is designed to give each bowler a "feel" for the optimum way to approach and deliver a bowling ball with maximum results, using the basic style that the bowler has already developed naturally. The Ritger method does not try to change all players into clones of one another, but rather teaches them the fundamentals necessary to make their own unique style work for them. Essentially, the method isolates the approach and delivery into components, which are then enhanced through a series of specific drills and exercises so that the bowler will be able to deliver the ball in a consistent and fluid motion, time after time.

Utilizing a proven successful teaching format, the physical, scientific, and mental phases of the sport are covered. The "Ritger Method", a carefully designed programme of skill drills, enables bowlers to leave with the tools to constantly improve their game. By providing these self-help methods, the bowler quickly regains balance, timing, consistency and accuracy, with scores going up accordingly. As part of the process, you will also develop analytical skills to enhance your understanding of the sport.
