Bowls Development Alliance
“Coach Bowls” Level 1 Award in Coaching Now available!
Press Release - 30/09/13
The Bowls Development Alliance is delighted to announce the launch of the new Level 1 coaching qualification for the sport of bowls.
The new course provides potential coaches with an opportunity to study and be assessed on both the practical and theoretical aspects of coaching
bowls to groups of beginner adults and juniors in an appropriate environment.
The knowledge gained from this award will enable those new to coaching develop an understanding of safe,
ethical and effective bowls coaching. It will also allow Level 1 Bowls coaches who are aged 18 and over to independently deliver four taster
sessions to beginners as part of the Play Bowls 4 Fun programme.
This is all good news for the sport as the Bowls Development Alliance, Bowls England and the English Indoor Bowling Association Ltd aim to encourage more people
to take up bowls.
If every club in the country identified one person to take the course then that club would be in a great position to provide newcomers to the game with a
fun and stimulating experience that could only encourage an uptake in new memberships.
The cost of the course is £90 per person but bursaries to cover 50 per cent of the fee are available from Bowls England and the English Indoor Bowling Association
Ltd as well as your local County Sport Partnerships.
The Bowls Development Alliance, Bowls England and the English Indoor Bowling Association Ltd also encourage clubs to support their members looking to take
their first steps into coaching by offering some assistance to cover the costs.
If you are interested in taking the course then please contact Sport Structures
on 0845 2417195 who can inform you of courses that may be running in your
area or go to www.playbowls.org for the latest availability.
