18.01.2022 JUNIOR LAWN BOWLS COACHING DEVELOPMENT /RECRUITMENT PROGRAMS TO BE CONDUCTED ALL OVER AUSTRALIA AND NZ. NOW THAT CORONAVIRUS IS PRETTY WELL CONTROLLED. How woul...d your club like to run a one or two-week, three-four week coaching program with your local High/ Secondary school or private College which would involve coaching and teaching the skills of Lawn Bowls to 500-1000 year 7-11 students. Does your bowling club have a Secondary School, High School, or Private College within 1 km of it? This would be the perfect recruitment ground. We endeavor to run sessions similar to coaching camps prior to the New Delhi Commonwealth Games 2010. It doesn't matter which country the Young Australians Lawn Bowls Academy operates in the coaching programs of development are the same. If your membership has declined or you need some new junior players either boys or girls we can do it for you like previous school programs conducted at St Johns Park, Warilla, Merrylands, Port Macquarie City, and Mounties Fairfield Bowling clubs plus others over the last 15 years in NSW or Victoria.
