Takapuna Bowling Club currently has five accredited coaches.
We have two sessions every Friday in the summer season. The first one-hour session, at 8.30am is for those new to the game and the less experienced players. The second session, at 9.30am a skills session for more experienced bowlers.
Our coaches are available to provide individual coaching at a mutually agreed time if you cannot attend the Friday sessions.
Our coaches are Bowls New Zealand Accredited and prepare players according to the Bowls New Zealand coaching guidelines. Additionally, we offer training in etiquette and rules. The club has two nationally accredited umpires, who assist in this area.
As a new or first year bowler you are provided with club bowls to use, for your first season, and your coach will guide you on the correct size and brand. You will receive expert instruction on technique and how to deliver a bowl. Our Friday sessions are a mix of instruction and skill drills which will prepare you for play within a few weeks. We encourage new players to attend between 4 and 6 training sessions before playing club days or competitive games at the club. All coaching is free.
The club has a Junior Mentor who can assist you with your playing schedule whether it be club days, competitive or regional/national.
Takapuna Bowling Club prides itself on delivering a comprehensive coaching and mentoring programme.
We would love to see you at Takapuna Bowling Club and introduce you to our 185 members who are an excellent mix of social and competitive players.
