Coaching Program & Trials
Coaches, Mentors and Aspiring Coaches Meeting!
On the back of a very successful season we are intent on building on our success through building up our coaching panel to support all our players.
To this end there is a meeting for all current accredited coaches, mentors and aspiring coaches on Thursday 15th August at the club 10-11.30am. At this meeting we will plan for the season ahead and build a consistent approach to our player support.

Becoming a coach is a great way to find out how to improve your own bowling skill as well as supporting other club members.

Kookaburras Pennant Season Training Begins
Club Training begins on Tuesday 3 September at 9-11am and continues throughout the season, including finals. All bowlers are welcome! Saturday 7 September will be the first internal trial game. Training will start at 10am with a trial game to follow starting at 12.30.
Throughout last season I asked bowlers to identify specific skills they wished to improve. I then suggested activities for them to practice. Please give some thought on what aspects of your bowling you wish to improve this year.
External Trial Games
A number off external trail games have been scheduled for the preseason. We are working on trial games for Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday sides. The first Saturday external Trial Game will be on Saturday 14 September against Payneham.
Winter Improvement Challenges
Thank you to all the bowlers who have submitted their challenge results so far. I have responded to all submissions with detailed feedback and suggestions on how to improve further.
As the weather improves and the new pennant season approaches. I hope more bowlers will have a crack at these challenges. The importance of skills training through a sustained period of time in the off season can not be overstated. Social games are great for practicing strategy and trying those bowls you have been practicing in a more relaxed environment. To enter see the attachment below.
