🛑 STOP! STOP! 🛑

Why do so many people still think lawn bowls is an "old person's game"?

Why is this mindset still around?

Lawn bowls has evolved into one of the most inclusive, exciting, and fastest-growing sports around. It is a sport for EVERYONE – young and old, beginners and champions, people of all abilities, shapes, sizes, and backgrounds.

Not every child is destined to play rugby, netball, hockey, or cricket. Not every child wants a high-contact sport. But every child deserves the opportunity to belong, to be part of a team, to make friends, and to discover a sport where they can succeed.

Lawn bowls offers exactly that.

✅ Builds confidence and self-esteem
✅ Develops concentration and strategic thinking
✅ Improves coordination and balance
✅ Encourages teamwork and sportsmanship
✅ Creates lifelong friendships
✅ Suitable for all fitness levels
✅ Inclusive of people with disabilities
✅ Low risk of injury compared to many contact sports
✅ Teaches discipline, patience, and respect
✅ Allows players to compete individually or as part of a team
✅ Provides opportunities to represent club, district, province, and even country
✅ A sport that can be enjoyed for life

For our youth, lawn bowls is more than just a game. It is a place where you are welcomed, valued, and given the chance to grow at your own pace. Whether you dream of competing at the highest level or simply want to have fun with friends, there is a place for you on the green.

Parents, imagine a sport where your child can develop life skills, build confidence, make lasting friendships, and enjoy healthy competition in a positive environment.

The future of lawn bowls belongs to our youth.

Bring your children to the green. Let them try something different. Let them discover a sport where everyone has a chance to shine.

🌟 Lawn bowls isn't an old person's game.
🌟 It's a game for the next generation.
🌟 It's a game for everyone.

🤠🐄 CAPTAINS DAY 🐄🤠

Cowboys VS the (sexy) Cowgirls… and what a FUN day it was!
The rivalry between the men and ladies brought plenty of laughs, great spirit, and lots of friendly competition. The shooters under the tree definitely gave the ladies a little extra “whoop-a”! 🤣
A huge THANK YOU to everyone who made the effort to dress up and add to the atmosphere — the boots, hats, denim, and country flair made the day extra special!

But after all the fun… it was still a challenge, and there had to be a winner!
With a close 4-point difference, the Cowboys rode away with the victory! 🏆🤠
Congratulations Cowboys

Well done as well to all the winners in the different categories:
⭐ Spider winner
