YBE are continually looking for resources to help support, and grow, youth grassroots* bowling in England. Here are three connections we’ve made for which your support will help grow tenpin bowling, improve lives and help secure the future of this amazing recreation sport activity!
*There are around 150,000 grassroots sports clubs across the country. These clubs are the lifeblood of sport and recreation. They help people maintain healthy, active lifestyles and are often the launch pad for future elite success. Not only that, they serve as invaluable social hubs within their communities, bringing people together and providing opportunities to participate and volunteer in sport and recreation.- Sport & Recreation Alliance (https://www.sportandrecreation.org.uk)
CLUB HUB UK
Youth Bowling England has signed up with ClubHub UK to enable YBCs across England to advertise their club and recruit new members.
It is a search engine designed to help find clubs across the UK. Normally there is an annual subscription for each club to manage their own listing but with the YBE subscription each club can have a listing at no cost to them and it will be maintained by the YBE team.
We already have some YBC’s signed up and the current listing can be found here: https://clubhubuk.co.uk/?s=tenpin
If you would like your club listed please contact me for details.
