WHO CAN PLAY?
Children, Parents, Grandparents, Aunts, Uncles, Cousins, Friends, Workmates—Anybody can play this wonderful game.
Men and Women of all ages play Indoor Bowls and we also have visually impaired members and bowlers who play from their wheelchairs.
Indoor Bowls is truly a “Game for All”. It can be played as a serious competitive sport or purely as a social activity. No uniform or equipment is needed by the players--hence no financial outlay to start. The only requirement is that you wear flat-soled shoes (this is a precaution to prevent damage to the bowling mat). However, a foam pad to protect your knees is highly recommended if you choose to kneel while bowling. Club coaches are also available (at no cost) to help you get started as well as District and National Coaches.

OUR CLUB SCENE
Our bowling season generally begins in March of each year and concludes about September, but varies from club to club and around the country. Most clubs meet once a week and play games of various varieties. There are social games of singles, pairs, triples and fours as well as championship games for people who want to play more competitively. There are also games and competitions for new players, under 18-year-olds and Senior Citizens. Men and Women of all ages play together and against one another, but sometimes there are mixed pairs or single-gender tournaments. We have social visits both to and from other clubs where you get to meet and mingle with many people. There are many ‘open’ tournaments held by local clubs, associations and districts, which many of our teams play in and all club members are invited and encouraged to participate in. On the competitive scene, you may get the chance to be selected to play in Club, Association and/or District Representative sides. You may even be lucky enough one day to play for the North/South Island or New Zealand! There are also the NZ National Championships held each year in the second week of June and entry is open to all bowlers - no qualifications required.
