Tasters & Coaching
During the season free coaching sessions are made available to members either on a one to one, or a small group basis giving guidance and ideas for ‘purposeful practice’ to improve individual skills from beginners to more experienced bowlers.
Watch this space and notices at the Club for more information on organised coaching sessions linked to specific skills which will be taking place on Thursday afternoons.
If you are a new member to the Club you will automatically have access to 3 coaching sessions to help you get up to speed and understand more about the game as soon as you join.
If you're thinking of joining, come along to one of our Club Afternoons on Thursday from 14:00 - 19:00 to have a go and see what you think.
