Bowls
Jack Attack, opens in a new tab. A fun and fast-paced format of lawn bowls, to encourage participation by non-bowling members of the community. It is a modified version, with three players per team who each deliver their two bowls within an end, aiming to get as close as possible to the jack. Teams complete two sets of five ends to determine a winner, and should the sets be even, a sudden-death tie-break will be played. It’s all over in 60-75 minutes!
Rookie Rollers, opens in a new tab. Aimed at bringing the sport of bowls to audiences of varying ages and abilities, has had considerable success with kids, elderly, people with physical or mental impairment, and many beginners around the nation. It can be conducted on a range of surfaces including greens, carpets, concrete, wooden floors, and just about anything else that is flat, eliminating the need for a bowling green.
