Junior
Development Squad
The Cunningham
District wishes to form a Junior Squad for the development and
progression of junior bowls within our district. The aim is to provide a
structured system for training and advancement for youth, in order to
plan for the long term future of bowls within our clubs.
Junior
development squads are the first step at producing and developing
younger players for the sport of Lawn Bowls. The squads are established
to expose and encourage youth participation at all levels of ability.
There are many non-playing but potential junior players who are often
reserved by the generation imbalances they see in club membership. The
establishment of a junior development squad attempts to break down this
and other perceived barriers.
Clubs are currently offering coaching by accredited
coaches. Children have varying levels of concentration, ability and
stamina and all require coaching aimed at their level. At this stage in
their life participation in sport is generally not about winning but
having enjoyment in what they are doing now. Both male and female
coaches are required for equal development opportunities for boys and
girls.
We share Bowls Queensland passion for junior bowls and
the development of our clubs and the game.
Current and potential Under 18's need to be:
• encouraged as bowlers
• provided with regular quality, age-appropriate coaching
and training opportunities
• given the opportunity to socialize, train and play with
and against their peers
We would like your club to be a supporter of Junior Bowls
within our district by providing the club's facilities for a training
day and sausage sizzle for our visiting Development officers, children
and parents.
Our vision is to increase junior membership in all clubs
in the district so we would like to increase numbers on the day by
working with you and contacting schools in your area to promote an open
day where children can come and try the sport of lawn bowls.
We are also in need of coaches with modern approach to
the sport of lawn bowls to assist in running our programs at the various
clubs, so if you know of anybody who would be interested could you
please get them to get in touch with the Junior Development Officers.
It is proposed that a donation of $50.00 to the Junior
Development Squad by all clubs be considered. By participating in the
Junior Bowls Development Program, we are investing in the future of our
clubs and the sport of lawn bowls.
If your club is interested in hosting a training day
could you please contact one of the people listed below so we can set up
a time and date.
