Information only — no action required.

Following recent requests from clubs and coaches, we’ve made this updated Level 1 coaching booklet available online to help you begin introducing the new EBCS coaching methods straight away.

This guide gives club coaches a simple, practical framework they can use on the rink from day one — covering assessment, grip, delivery, line, length, and jack play. It supports the national move toward a consistent coaching approach and ensures every new bowler starts with the same strong foundations.

Coaches are encouraged to use this booklet to familiarise themselves with the new Level 1 practices and begin applying them in sessions while formal training is rolled out across clubs.
