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 ebook icon) 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.
