The coaching staff at Brightlingsea Bowls Club welcome all new and current members to join them in developing the skills in the sport of lawn bowls. Brightlingsea Bowls Club has qualified coaching staff, one man and one lady qualified to Level 2 and one man to Level 1. The club offer coaching to all new bowlers and to existing bowlers who might request assistance with any aspect of the game. All coaching takes place on the green, at the club in Regent Road, during the outdoor season from May through to September. A coaching programme on offer to anyone interested in knowing more about the sport is available even before there needs to be a commitment to join the club as a member. Four separate one hour basic coaching lessons are available to introduce people to the game. County Qualified Coaches There is no fee required and all equipment is available – the only requirement is the wearing of reasonably flat soled footwear without heels. We are fortunate to have a stock of club bowls in many sizes so learning with bowls that suit the individual is not a problem. Coaching can be on a one to one basis or with two/three others, at a time suitable to the learner. The coaches are confident that anyone can deliver bowls after just two lessons – come and have a go! On completion of the programme an application form to join the club is offered, but could be taken up at any time during or after this coaching programme. The club is a mixed club with a wide cross section of age group. Some of our younger members came through our coaching programme and now play a very competitive game against their coaches! Once the basics have been picked up all members are assisted to become part of the club social games and then into more competitive play should they wish that. At all times the coaches are available to assist with the skill process. Anyone interested in learning the skills of bowls should either call in at the club in Regent Road or contact the Club Secretary on 01206 302696.
