Thinking About Coaching
Thinking About Coaching?
Start at the Beginning...
A Bowls Club Coach with NCCP qualifications has been trained
to properly introduce the basic skills of lawn bowls
to a wide range of beginner bowlers in a club environment.
If you are an experienced lawn bowler,
you can easily qualify to be a Club Coach.
The Club Coach course will give you confidence
that you are teaching new bowlers properly!
A Bowls Competition Coach with NCCP qualifications works
with a wide range of bowlers who compete in club tournaments
and possibly in provincial play-down events.
If you are an experienced bowler who has competed
in club tournaments and provincials,
consider becoming qualified as a Bowls Competition Coach
so that another generation of bowlers can reach success!
If you have an interest in becoming a Coach,
please see below and then contact Shirley Fitzpatrick-Wong for more details on how you can start the process.
National Coaching Certification
(for all coaching levels)
Bowls Canada has set up a National Coaching Certification Program for Lawn Bowling. Information on how to become a certified coach --
whether coaching beginner, competitive or even National level bowlers --
can be accessed at Bowls Canada's webpage here.
