Bowls Canada Expands Regional Coach Network

Ottawa, ON 

Bowl Canada is seeking to expand the Regional Coaching Network with the identification of up to three additional Regional Coaches.  The regional coach position is a service provider role.  

The purpose of the Regional Coach Network is to create formal linkages between the national High Performance Program and what is happening in regional development across the country.  This network also assists in developing coaching resources that will reach more aspiring athletes throughout the nation and help support the growth of the game at the regional level.

As designated service providers, Regional Coaches identify and work with aspiring bowlers across Canada.  It is expected that Regional Coaches will have or develop a thorough understanding of the national high performance program and would be able to answer questions and provide updates to regional athletes on topics such as National Squad Selection, specific skills and tactics that are required for national and international play, and help athletes identify how ancillary sport sciences might contribute to their game. 

The Regional Coaching Network provides an opportunity for lawn bowls coaches to gain experience and knowledge.  Regular opportunities to connect with the other members of the network and the two national team coaches will contribute to promoting a consistent development of athletes across the country. Regional Coaches are expected to be NCCP Performance Coach certified or willing to actively work towards this certification. A description of the expected roles and responsibilities is available here.

Former national team athletes interested in coaching are encouraged to apply.  Interested candidates should submit their resume and cover letter directly to High Performance Manager Don Caswell via email (dcaswell@bowlscanada.com) no later than December 9, 2022.   Only candidates selected for an interview will be contacted.
