The Carroll County Corollary Athletic Program is on a roll.

Students are being offered a chance to put aside differences and get active with the bowling this winter. The athletics program started in the fall with floor hockey.

''Floor hockey went very well for the first attempt at Corollary Sports. We had 24 students all together who played games against each other," said John Perna, a Consulting Teacher for adapted Physical Education and Sport.

Corollary sports is for students that want to play sports, but don't have the skill or desire to play on a varsity or junior varsity team. The sports are co-ed and are starting in other Maryland counties. The Corollary Programs are in compliance with Maryland's Fitness and Athletic Equity for Students with Disabilities Act.

This year at fifth annual Inclusion Field Day, the Corollary Athletic Program held sport events at South Carroll High School. The leagues aim to have the students build positive self-esteem, acquire skills, improve physical fitness, foster good sportsmanship, teamwork and new friendships.

In the fall, Westminster had two teams, North Carroll had a team and South Carroll and Manchester Valley were combined for a fourth squad.

The student athletes will use the lanes at Greenmount Bowl in Greenmount Station, Thunderhead Bowl and Family Fun Center in Taneytown and Cross Roads Bowling Center in Eldersburg.

''Depending on how many students we have per team we may have two or three teams going to one lane for a match,'' said Perna.

The students also receive certificates for taking part in the sports.

When asked about what is planned for the future, Perna said, ''The program is set up now for floor hockey in the fall, bowling in the winter, and indoor softball in the spring.''
