Bowls Development Alliance: The Ultimate Guide to Lawn Bowls
Bowls Development Alliance (BDA) is a non-profit organization that aims to promote and develop the sport of lawn bowls in the United Kingdom. With over 2,500 affiliated clubs and more than 100,000 registered players, BDA is the largest governing body for lawn bowls in the UK.

One of our main goals at BDA is to encourage more people to take up lawn bowls. We believe that this sport has something unique to offer – it’s not just about physical fitness but also mental agility and social interaction. Lawn bowls can be played competitively or socially, making it an ideal activity for people looking for both exercise and socialization.
We offer coaching courses through our Coach Bowls program which provides training opportunities for coaches at all levels – from beginners’ courses right up to advanced level qualifications. This ensures that there are always qualified coaches available at every club who can help new players learn the basics of the game.
In addition, we organize various competitions throughout the year including national championships such as The National Championships Finals Weekend which takes place annually at Victoria Park in Royal Leamington Spa where players compete against each other across different categories such as singles, pairs etc., culminating with finals day on Sunday afternoon where winners are crowned.
We also have a strong commitment to inclusivity and diversity. We believe that everyone should have the opportunity to participate in lawn bowls regardless of their background or circumstances. That’s why we offer programs such as Bowls Disability Mark which is an accreditation scheme for clubs who provide facilities and opportunities for disabled players.
At BDA, we are committed to promoting the sport of lawn bowls and ensuring that it remains accessible to all. Whether you are a seasoned player or just starting out, we invite you to join our community and discover the joys of this wonderful sport.
