Level 2 Bowls Coaching Award

Our brand new Level 2 Award will enable experienced coaches to use their skills and knowledge to understand their players better. Coaches will learn the skills required to create individual development plans to help their players improve.

The course will focus on working with individual one-to-one coaching or small groups and will help coaches understand Player Testing, monitoring of progress and Podium Pathway to better help players progress into higher level opportunities. The course will take place over a full season and involve coursework to be completed at your own club during that season. There is also mentoring support available for coaches throughout the season to help develop their individual needs as a Level 2 Coach.

This course allows experienced coaches to develop their coaching abilities across a range of areas. Coaches will examine technical and tactical aspects of team and individual play and will learn how to profile bowlers and develop action plans to help improve their player’s game. The course will explore – profiling, bowler assessments, nutrition, fitness, tactical approaches, planning linked sessions, coaching teams, and coaching through games.

Cost: Affiliated Clubs - £120 or Non-Affiliated Clubs - £240
