Lawn Bowls for the physically disabled and vision impaired
Whatever your challenge, this is the sport for you.
International Bowls for the Disabled has many countries as members around the world that look after players with physical or vision disabilities. Playing greens can be accessed by chair and many clubs have bowling arms to assist those that are unable to bend easily.
Whatever physical disability you are challenged with, you can play and enjoy lawn bowls. If you suffer from vision damage, either partial or total loss, you can also play bowls. With the help of a director with adequate vision you can participate and enjoy the rewards of the sport. Lawn bowls is the most inclusive sport on the planet.
Get the right gear for your game
John Hood from Australia suffers from superficial siderosis which causes him to lose balance. The bowling arm helps to stabilise him and he has now caught the bowls bug big time.
