Douglas Spicer

Coach Spicer enters his twelfth season at the helm of the Cardinals' bowling program. Coach Spicer has been bowling for 30 years in a high competitive environment which has allowed him to watch and learn from some of the world's best bowlers. What he brings with him to this coaching position is the knowledge of how to adjust to tough and always-changing lane conditions and the ability to select the proper ball for those conditions to be able to score. Douglas wants to be able to pass this valuable information on to his bowlers at a pace so that they are able to absorb and execute when it comes time to. He is a TEAM-orientated person and believes that success comes to those who put their team and teammates first before any individual accolades. "A successful team is one that bonds on and off the lanes."
