| Synopsis | †The contents of this ebook have been reproduced from a small booklet -
Purposeful Practice Handbook - the fourth edition of which is dated 1987.
'Purposeful Practice' is a phrase used by the English Bowls Coaching Scheme (EBCS) to encourage coaches to help their students to practise effectively and the idea for the booklet came about following attendance by the author at an EBCS coaching course. It consists of 20 illustrated exercises, ranging from 'Draw inside/outside front bowls' to 'Hidden jack', and four extra exercises including 'Conditioned singles', where conditions are agreed before the start of an otherwise normal game. Examples of such conditions could include: use of forehand/backhand only; jack not centred after casting; and only shots within two feet of the jack to count. The Purposeful Practice Handbook provides a range of practical exercises that will assist bowlers at many levels and deserves wider recognition than it currently attains; it is hoped that its inclusion on this site will lead to a wider readership and application. *This is a zipped (compressed) folder and operating systems such as Windows XP and Vista have built-in support to open such folders.
