The C.O.I.B.A consists of Indoor Bowling Clubs from throughout Central Otago, covering areas from Queenstown / Cromwell to Alexandra, Roxburgh and Ranfurly.
The object of the Association is to promote the sport of Indoor Bowls throughout the greater Central Otago area and to help set up clubs, teach and coach the sport of Indoor Bowls.
The NZ Indoor Bowls Association's membership starts as young as preschool members through to 80+years young.
The younger generation is being encouraged to participate in indoor bowls. The NZIBA hosts both the NZ Junior Singles tournament and the NZ Secondary Schools tournament in Wellington at the end of August. Schools are being encouraged to promote indoor bowls in their programmes.
Indoor Bowls is truly a game for life as people of all ages, abilities and genders
can play socially or competitively.
Indoor Bowls is a cheap sport.
The Association and the Clubs provide the bowls so you do not have to purchase bowls.
Have fun, learn new skills, you can stand, kneel or sit to deliver the bowls.
It's a great way to meet people.
Everyone is welcome to come along and have a go regardless of whether they have
played before or never played at all.
Why not give it a go! You may enjoy it.
