right000Bowls for those new to the gameBowls is a simple game to learn, to become good requires skill and judgement. Not requiring great strength it is a game where ladies and men, young and old and people with some disability?can compete on an equal footing. Not only can it help with your fitness but it is a good way to meet people and it is fun to play.A team rolls the jack down the green to set a target for the bowls (called woods) which are bowled alternately by the teams. ?The object, after all the woods have been bowled ?is to get as many of your teams woods closer to the jack than your opponents woods. ?For each of your teams woods closer to the jack than your opponents woods you score one shot. ?In a game for single players you would normally score 21 shots to win. ?In a game of pairs (2 a side) and fours (4 a side) you would normally play 21 ends whilst in triples (3 a side) you would normally bowl 18 ends. ?Each team in singles and pairs games would normally bowl four woods each end whilst in triples each team would normally bowl three woods each end. There are two main techniques to master. The first is the green, working out which line to bowl the wood as the bowl takes curved path to the jack. The second technique is the weight, how hard to bowl to reach the target, normally the jack. Bowls has a reputation for being played by the elderly probably because it is a non contact game which does not require a massive physical effort to play and older people find that they can play this game when their ability to play the more physical sports, rugby, football cricket, tennis etc, has diminished. The game is often taken up by people wanting to continue in competitive sport as they consider ‘retiring’ from the more physical contact sports.The best bowlers however are the younger bowlers and the average age of the English International team in 2013 was just 32 years! ?The younger you start the game the more time you have to practice which as we all know makes perfect!We are very happy to introduce people of any age or gender to the sport and have qualified coaches available to help would be bowlers. ? ................
