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 at sfitzwong@shaw.ca 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.

Respect in Sport Certification

All coaches must complete an online Respect-in-Sport module
and provide their RiS number to the Bowls Manitoba office.
​
Access Respect in Sport here.

Screening 

All coaches must apply for a criminal record check (Vulnerable Sector)
and provide their record to the Bowls Manitoba office.
​
For those living in Winnipeg, the application is through the Winnipeg Police Service online.

For those living outside Winnipeg, the application is through your local RCMP detachment.
