Youth Lawn Bowling In BC

A pathway to success is to continue to develop younger Lawn Bowlers in British Columbia through Junior Bowls. New programs that involve skill development, social games with Provincial Championships helps meet their competitive needs and allows for a successful long-term involvement in the Sport of Lawn Bowls. This in turn delivers strength to the sport and ensures its viability for many years to come.

to provide a fun, safe and rewarding Lawn Bowling experience for younger participants. Clubs which provide a safe environment for members and visitors will create a more positive community image of the club.

BC Provincial Championships

Every year Bowls BC hosts a Provincial Championships for both Junior Bowlers (18 and under) and an Under 25 Championship. This is a great chance for players to be able to test their skills and compete to win a Provincial Championship title. It is a great stepping stone to the Canadian Championships that are held every year across the Country. To register please head to our online registration at www.bowlsbc.com/register
