Introduction

Over the last few years the small number of conventional books on bowls coaching has been augmented by a number of ebooks (denoted by this symbol ) that are included in the table below. And don't overlook the relevant titles in the Videos and DVDs sections. In addition, you'll find much helpful information at the following sites:

• Bowls Development Alliance is funded by Sport England and supported by Bowls England and the English Indoor Bowling Association Ltd. One of its objectives is the development of a unified coaching framework across the country.
  
  
• Coaching Advice Columns is the location of a wealth of useful information contributed by noted Australian coach Lachlan Tighe. Don't overlook the link to the archive of coaching advice at the foot of the main article.
  
  
• Coaching Programs from Bowls British Columbia is a five-part coaching program for beginners.
  
  
• English Bowls Coaching Scheme†, although primarily for EBCS coaches and pupils, also has useful information for those considering taking up bowls or becoming a coach.
