Introduction

Over the last few years the small number of conventional books on bowls coaching has been significantly augmented by a number of ebooks that are included in the table below, and don't overlook the relevant titles in the Videos and DVDs sections. In addition, you'll find much helpful information at the following sites:

• Rob Judson: Lawn Bowls Coaching, in addition to hosting Rob's well-respected and very popular ebook*, this site also has a wealth of other coaching information arranged under 'Articles', 'FAQs' and 'Links'.
  
  
• Coaching Tips is part of the Lawn Bowls International site that has contributions on tactics and a weekly column on coaching by respected coach Lachlan Tighe which ran from September 2001 to May 2006.
  
  
• Coaching Advice is a section of Bowlsworld.com.au where Lachlan Tighe (see above) continued his weekly column until October 2006 and now (2008) writes a monthly column. On the same page there are links to Rob Huddle's three separate downloads on Training Drills, Coaching Tips and Shot Selection.
  
  
• Coaching Programs from Bowls British Columbia is a five-part coaching program for beginners.
  
  
• English Bowls Coaching Scheme, although primarily for EBCS coaches and pupils, also has useful information for those considering taking up bowls or becoming a coach.

*The ebook is in portable document file (PDF) format and requires installation of the free Adobe Reader program.
