"Bowls truly is the sport for all, regardless of age, sex or physical ability. The gentle pace and lack of contact means you’ll often find children playing with adults and people of different abilities and fitness levels on the same team. Despite what you might think, it’s not just a sport for retirees."
"The general bowler is over 55, but in our international teams, there is barely anyone over 40. We have an under-25 and under-18 international team as well."
Matt Wordingham from Bowls England
Playing Indoor Bowls has very few limits - it is a great game for the young, the elderly and those in between. In fact it's great for all!
People with a handicap or disability can play and compete at the same level as an able bodied person. The idea of the game is so simple - get nearest to the jack and win the end!
However, it is easier said than done! Maybe that is why it is so addictive!!
At RIBs we intend to provide coaching for all and get involved with anyone and everyone who wants to try out Indoor Bowls and become a member of RIBs.
