A history-making initiative by Tenpin Bowling Australia will see active coach and managers who volunteer their time and expertise to the sport rewarded for their efforts.
The TBA Volunteer Support Program aims to acknowledge and reward those in the bowling community who provide volunteer commitment and expertise to better the sport. The inaugural support program will introduce two initiatives that provide a variety of benefits rewarded for volunteer dedication.
Launched in June 2021, the initial rollout of the initiative concentrates on our coaches and managers in the sport. The support program aims to thank and reward eligible participants for a variety of services they provide.
To show appreciation, TBA will give back to those within our active volunteer workforce. The program aims to reward those who put their hand up to offer their skills and knowledge to benefit the sport, athletes, state associations and ultimately TBA.
The Volunteer Support Program will relate to all TBA registered coaches and managers with future rewards provided over two different initiatives. Each initiative based on the amount of activity and commitment volunteers offer to the sport.
