Club Assist

Welcome to Club Assist, Bowls Victoria’s Member resource hub.

Operating a sports club today is very different from what is what 20 years ago. There are more expectations being placed on club managers and volunteers to have skills and knowledge in business administration, laws, insurance, marketing, hospitality, finance and membership management. Club Assist aims to provide key information across a range of business areas to help you develop and manage your Bowls Club.

Bowls Victoria is committed to helping Victorian clubs grow and prosper, which is why we have developed this Member area full of essential support services to assist your club and your volunteers.
