Coaching & Officiating

Bowls Victoria offers a variety of courses for new and re-accrediting coaches.

Coaches play an important role in bowls by assisting players to develop their playing skills on the green.

Our coaches are responsible for training, analysing a performance, and providing instruction, mentoring and encouragement to help develop good bowlers into great bowler.

A coach is one of the first people a new player meets when they come to a club. Due to this, it’s important that as a coach, you possess the necessary personality, skills, knowledge and approach to ensure a player receives a quality coaching experience.

As a coach, it’s important that you have some important key attributes to guide and support all bowlers.

  • Excellent communication skills.
  • A sensitive, supportive and positive approach.
  • The ability to build confidence and motivate others.
  • A helpful and proactive attitude.
  • Good time management and patience.
