Sue Ellen Horne Named 2025-26 LBNS Coach of the Year

Lawn Bowls Nova Scotia is proud to announce Sue Ellen Horne of the Dartmouth Lawn Bowls Club as the 2025-26 LBNS Coach of the Year!
A coach for 9 years and now serving as DLBC Training & Development Chair, Sue Ellen has been a driving force behind player development at her club. In 2024, she launched the popular “New Bowler Night,” creating a welcoming space for first and second year players specifically to learn about the core concepts of the sport through structured training, drills, and guided gameplay- supporting both skill growth and long-term retention.
Now expanded to Tuesday nights, the program continues to grow while introducing new players to the core concepts of the sport. Sue Ellen has also played a key role in community outreach, helping introduce lawn bowls to a wide range of groups.
Congratulations and thank you Sue Ellen for your outstanding dedication to coaching! Sue Ellen will be honoured alongside other Provincial Sport Organization’s Coach of the Year recipients from around the province at the 2026 Support4Sport Awards on May 23rd at the Halifax Convention Centre.
