Coaching at Ashburton!

Geoff Close has been conducting regular coaching sessions at the Club, on a Monday evening.  Geoff has been concentrating on the topic “How to be a Skip”, with the various aspects of this topic being covered over a series of weeks.
These sessions commence at 7pm each Monday.
The series has been popular with the new members of the Club, and it is hoped to widen the appeal of coaching to others in the Club, with the commencement in March of the next series of sessions, on the topic of “The Mental Approach to Bowls”.

Many of the sessions from the Skip topic have been filmed, and will be made available to members once edited.

A number of previous sessions from past years have also been filmed, and are in the process of being edited into a final form on DVD.  Again, these DVDs will be available at the Club as soon as they are finished, for members to view.
Currently, the Club has a number of DVDs and videos, that cover various aspects and topics of lawn bowls, including:

-          The Delivery Style;

-          The Grooved Delivery, Master class & In the Groove

-          Basic Bowls technique

-          Advanced Bowling.
Some matches from old “Jack High” are also available for viewing from the Club.  Our Coaching Panel (Pam & Norm Brown, Margaret Newbold, Jack Simmons and Geoff Close) are only too happy to make a time to see a bowler, or to discuss an aspect of the game.
If you would like assistance in your development as a bowler, please speak to one of our Coaching Panel, and make a time to learn something new, or improve your technique and knowledge.
