​Essex Bowls Coaching Association (EBCA); Coaching Update May 23

EBCS Level 1 Courses

Essex County Bowling Association policy is to recommend that all clubs have a minimum of two coaches ideally one Coach Bowls and one English Bowls Coaching Society (EBCS).

To help clubs achieve this  the EBCA has arranged the following EBCS Level 1 coaching courses

  1. Falcon Indoor Bowling Club on 2nd, 3rd and 12th May  Completed 

  2. Southminster Bowling Club on 1st , 2nd and 9th Jun  Cancelled 

  3. Chelmsford Bowling Club on 1st , 2nd and 9th July

There are a few places still available on the Chelmsford course. To book a place please email Essexbowlscoaching@gmail.com with your name and club.

Each  course is free other than £8 to purchase a EBCS training book and £2 to cover the cost of our handouts etc. On successful completion coaches will be require to register with EBCS and obtain an Enhanced DBS, then register with EBCA. Detail  on how to do this will be provided on each course.

We would like to thank Falcon, Southminster and Chelmsford Bowling Clubs for kindly agreeing to host each course.
