10 Level Skill Development Program.

eCoachBowls can provide players of any ability with the resources to improve, and measure their progress. This is achieved by distance coaching using the specially designed 10 Level Skill Development Program.

There are 4 separate Modules that make up the 10 Level Skill Development Program.  

Each Modules includes: Practice sheets, Game Play Challenge, and Evaluation tests.

 eCoachBowls   10 LEVEL SKILL DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM

LEVEL 1, 2 & 3  - BEGINNERS MODULE - Player with less than 2 years experience.
LEVEL 4, 5 & 6 - EXPERIENCED MODULE - Player with over 2 years or completed Beginners module and skill test.
LEVEL 7, 8 & 9 - ADVANCED MODULE - Consistent performer at Division 1 or higher or completed Experienced module and skill test.
LEVEL 10           - MASTERS MODULE - Player who has completed the Advanced Module and skill test or be  currently representing your State or Country.
Each Level comprises 5 specially designed practice sessions. See below for a complete list of Skill Development Practice Sheets
Each Level features an important feedback loop from Player to Coach to Player. 
Each Practice sheet has a specific purpose and evaluation. 
At the end of each Level there is a Game Play challenge. This will simulate a game situation and provide motivation and interest to the practice sessions.
At the end of each Module there is a Skill Test that will determine if you have become competent enough to move onto the next Module. 
Which Level and Module do I start on? Start at the Module that best suits your ability. Don't start at too high a Level as many of the Basic skills are critical for success as a top bowler. 
On – line coaching Option 
Each Module provides practice sheets and skill tests for each level with results submitted back to eCoachBowls.  These results are evaluated & sent back to the player with Performance Analysis and Charts of main performance indicators. This provides real On – line coaching for all bowlers, Beginners to Masters, Men & Women, no matter where you live. 

Performance Analysis and Chart

The next chart will give you some indication of the important skill development data that you will receive in order to measure your progress and performance.
