Are you coming to get classified?
To be eligible to compete in para bowls events, players must first receive a classification to be eligible to enter competitions such as the Integrated Pairs, Para Disabilities State Championships and Bowlers with a Physical Disability Squad events. You may also have the opportunity to represent Victoria at the Multi-Bowls Nationals.
The two-step process to become classified is as follows:
- Before your classification day, have your doctor complete the Certificate of Diagnosis form and bring it along to a classification day.
- An official classifier will assess your physical impairment as relevant to the requirements for playing bowls. You must bring the bowls and any equipment you use to assist during your game; e.g. walking stick, wheelchair etc.
If you have any enquiries, please contact Campbell Hymans at Bowls Victoria at campbell@bowlsvic.org.au
