Coaching in Bowls
Volunteers are essential to the conduct of sport in Australia and when it comes to playing the game none more so than coaches.
Coaching plays an important role in assisting new bowlers to commence their involvement in the game by providing the basic mechanics (grip, stance, delivery) and in assisting bowlers at all levels in refining their technique, improving mental skills and game strategies. It also assists in developing leadership skills, goal setting and other genuine “life skills”.
Many State Sporting Associations have identified the importance of having qualified coaches and subsidise the cost to participants. That is certainly the case with Bowls Victoria in keeping costs to an absolute minimum for the end-user.

Education Courses for Coaches
Bowls Australia, with assistance and support from the State and Territory Associations and experts in the area of education and training, has commenced phasing in a new National Coaching Accreditation Scheme (NCAS) commencing with the Club Coach Course (replacing the previous Level 1 Course).
Bowlers interested in becoming an accredited NCAS Club Coach should forward an Application form to Bowls Victoria.
Reaccreditation procedures are now in place and existing DCC's have been given all the necessary information and applications to enable this process to begin.
Club Coach Manuals are also available to purchase for $24.95 (plus P&H) orders can be placed through your Club Secretary or contact your DCC now to save by ordering in bulk.
