NEW BOWLERS

Why Play Lawn Bowls back
Lawn bowls is a fun, outdoor/indoor game of skill. This sport caters for all ages from teenagers through to mature age. It has one of the highest participation rates for any other sport in Australia and can be played year round.
 
Lawn bowls caters for all levels of skill and intensity of involvement.
 
Come and meet the friendly lawn bowls players at our Club. New players without bowls can borrow a set from the club each time they want to play (Note: this is only short term).
 
Try Before You Decide back
Before making a financial commitment to join the club we provide you with free coaching from one of our accredited coaches.
 
The bowling equipment necessary for these sessions will be freely provided with the exception of flat-soled shoes.
 
They consist of four to six sessions of around an hour's duration covering the basic fundamentals of delivering a bowl and playing the game of lawn bowls.
 
Following these sessions you will have a good idea to whether or not you wish to join our club and take up lawn bowls as a sport or pastime.
 
Coaching And Playing back
Once you've joined the club the services of the club coaches continue to be available free of charge. All you need to do is make an appointment with one of them to work out a mutually convenient time.
 
Your coach will advise you when you are ready to play in an organized game.
Most new bowlers need about 3-5 lessons before they are ready to play in an organized game of bowls.
 
Once you start playing organized games the coaches continue to be available upon request as you develop and improve you bowling skills and tactics.
 
Advice on the purchase of bowls and clothing is also readily available from the coaches.
 
Club Membership back
Becoming a Pennant member of Eltham Bowling Club and become affiliated which is recognized by any Bowls Club in Australia (and the world). An affiliated bowler can enter any Bowls Club in Australia, be welcomed and join in various events run at the club (for a very small greens fee, normally around $5).
 
Bowling for the Disabled back
ERBC will endeavour to support and encourage people of all abilities the opportunity to participate in the sport of lawn bowls. This may be something as simple as just going out on the green for a social bowl or playing pennant for the club.
