10 Ways to Support DYBA...

Dorset Youth Bowls Academy is a registered charity with big ambition. We are actively fundraising to help us deliver on our vision of supporting young people to get involved with indoor and outdoor bowls and we need your help!


Here is a list of all the ways you can help us…and some of them involve virtually no effort! SPREAD THE WORD


#1 Help us get more youngsters playing bowls!

We have the passion, coaches and space for more youth – tell friends and family about the academy and help more youth get into the wonderful world of bowls. Or if your club would like to start a junior section our coaches will support you and all equipment needed will be loaned to your club. If interested, contact carolwilliams.bowls@yahoo.co.uk

Our youth players love it when they get support from more experienced bowlers. Use the diary of events on our website. Come along, lend your support and help the youth players reach their full potential. You never know, you might be able to claim your support has helped a future England star!


#3 Help Coaches!

Our coaches are all volunteers. It is helpful when people get involved with our tournaments and events. We need people to help send woods back, marking, making teas and coffees – it’s not hard, great fun and really appreciated. Speak to Sid if you can lend your support.
