CHALLENGING: No bumpers or ramps used to ensure skill technique development.

The various state and territory vouchers available are designed to help eligible families get their kids involved in organised sport and active recreation.

The vouchers and the amounts provided help eligible participants access sports that might otherwise have been out of their reach. Whether that is trying a new sport or stepping up their level of involvement in an existing sport, the increased activity is vital for their all-round health.

Participation programs like Bowl Patrol encourage the use of these vouchers for registration and participation.

Although the initiative is titled and administrated differently across the country, they all possess the same aim – to increase the opportunity to learn how to bowl!

Not currently available in the ACT , other states have information on how you can gain access to these vouchers.
