Policy for Coaching Junior Bowlers
Lawn Bowls Nova Scotia has instituted the following policy in relation to coaching Junior bowlers. Coaches of minors (junior bowlers under 18 years old) are required to submit to the provincial coaching coordinator, a criminal record check and a child abuse registry check by the last day of May in order to coach in a given season. Checks are good for three years and are performed by the local police department. Lawn Bowls Nova Scotia will reimburse any cost associated with the checks.
