Broadsword Junior Academy at Charlbury Bowls Club
Bowlers of all ages from age seven are welcome. Juniors meet on Saturdays at 10.30am, and at 4.30pm on Thursdays during term time. During the winter they play Short-Mat bowls and in the summer they play Lawn Green bowls. We have a summer school during school holidays. All our coaches are fully vetted and with level 1 coaching qualification from Coach Bowls.
We have an extensive range of bespoke junior equipment including sets of Junior Bowls for ages c. 7 to 11, and small size bowls for ages c. 9 and upwards. Our coaches make the sessions exciting and challenging, developing skills in a fun environment,
• self-discipline
• team building
• confidence
• awareness and enjoyment
• technical skills development
All coaches are trained to Level 1 and all coaches and assistants are DBS vetted. To try out bowls at Charlbury simply use the 'contact us' section above. All interested in the sport have six free sessions. We can provide all the equipment you need to get you started - you just need a pair of flat-soled shoes like trainers.
