//<span style="color: #404040; font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 120%;">No specific clothing is needed by the players so there is no financial outlay. The only requirement is that you wear flat soled shoes so that you do not damage the bowling mat. A foam mat is recommended if you choose to kneel while bowling. //
