“This is called the ‘Brunswick Alert,’ it has a smoother ball reaction. It’s going to give an idea of how the lanes are going to play,” said Ferraro as she showed off one of her many bowling balls. “I can tell if I do something wrong with my footwork, arm or my hand, that it’s going to be a bad shot. It’s supposed to be the same way every time.”

Ferraro is a professional bowler with the Professional Women’s Bowling Association. 

The Deltona native has been around the bowling alley her entire life. 

“I was two when I started,” said Ferraro. “I feel like I’m home. It’s always been another home for me growing up in the bowling alley. My parents bowled four, five nights a week. So, I was always in the bowling alley, always wanting to bowl.”

Her work speaks for itself. 

The highest score you can get in bowling is 300 — she has done that a couple of times in her career.

Her biggest 300 game came in the PWBA’s pre-tournament qualifier in December. 

“I didn’t know what I was thinking, I was just focused on making good shots,” said Ferraro as she described staying in the moment. “I was just trying to keep my mind off the fact that this is a possibility.”

Her perfection landed her at spot in the PWBA Regional tournament where she finished as the runner-up. 

“It makes me feel like this is the right path that I’m taking, and I definitely need to stay with bowling, because there was a time where I didn’t know if I wanted to bowl anymore,” said Ferraro.

A couple years ago, Ferraro was a in car accident which sidelined for a couple months with lower back and neck injuries. 

It wasn’t until she bowled a 300 at the women’s national tournament where her love for the sport returned. 

“That was the year it happened, and maybe three weeks after coming back is when I did it,” said Ferraro. “So, it was like, ‘This is something I need to keep on doing.’”

You never know if you truly love something until it’s tested. 

Alyssa Ferraro has passed with flying colors, actually with perfection.
