Four long-standing players at Ashcombe Park Bowling Club have attended the Coach Bowls England course and successfully passed their practical exams at Ilminster Bowling Club this week. Louise Carman, Jason Capille, Sean Hopkins and Andy Evans all signed up to the course several months ago and are very proud of their achievements.
Coach Bowls is the only nationally recognised coaching qualification for the sport of bowls in England and the only bowls coaching system supported and funded by Bowls England and the EIBA.
The practical exam followed some intense theory and written exams.
We are delighted that this now means Ashcombe Park Bowling Club can offer fully qualified coaching to anyone wishing to learn the game or indeed improve their skills.
Louise Carman said: “I was really impressed by the tutors at Coach Bowls and enjoyed the training sessions. The theory and written exams weren’t quite so much fun, but I learnt a lot and am really looking forward to putting it into practice coaching at Ashcombe Park Bowling Club!”
