Youth Bowls

The home of tamariki and rangatahi bowls in New Zealand

By actively engaging our tamariki and rangatahi to the game of bowls, we aim to spark a passion for the sport - via school activations, 'Give It a Go' days at local clubs, and Secondary School and National tournaments.

Our goal is to make bowls accessible, fun, and welcoming, giving our young people the opportunity to try something new and grow their connection to the game.

Whether it’s their first roll or a competitive tournament, we’re here to help tamariki and rangatahi discover the enjoyment and community that bowls offers.

Is your school is interested in having a bowls session?
