UPCOMING COACH BOWLS COURSES
Bowls England is delighted to announce a number of courses to assist members inclining coaching.
Bowls England would like to remind its members that Coach Bowls is the only nationally recognised coaching qualification for the sport of bowls in England – the latest course availability can be found below.
Qualifications are delivered in partnership with 1st 4 Sport, as the awarding body, and all successful candidates receive an externally accredited qualification that is regulated by Ofqual (The Government body for the award of national qualifications). Coach Bowls qualifications are wholly recommended by Bowls England and the English Indoor Bowling Association Ltd.
Any individual affiliated member of Bowls England may apply for financial assistance for up to 50 per cent of the cost of the course.

Applicants must be at least 17 years old, and for Coach Bowls Level Two courses and above applicants must hold a recognised Coaching Certificate. Each application must be supported by the applicant’s club and the appointed administrator of the relevant County Association that is affiliated to Bowls England.
The Level Three qualification will be launched later this year, aimed at coaches working with county and national level bowlers and developed by a team of highly credible and successful bowlers at International level, all of whom are also qualified coaches
Due to demand, funding is limited to one member per affiliated club per year. Applications will be considered on a first come, first served basis.
