Adaptive Lawn Bowls Festival 2024
A Celebration of Inclusivity in Sport
The Adaptive Lawn Bowls Festival 2024 is more than just a sporting event; it’s a community celebration that embraces the spirit of inclusivity and fun in the world of lawn bowls. This year’s festival is the first of its kind, bringing together bowlers of all abilities in a unique and competitive environment where players can compete within their adaptive categories or enjoy a social match in mixed groups.
An Inclusive Tournament for All
This groundbreaking tournament is designed to be fully inclusive, welcoming players with all types of disabilities to compete side by side. The festival features two main event formats to cater to a variety of interests and skill levels:
Adaptive Pairs Event
In this event, players compete within their designated Adaptive Category, ensuring a fair and competitive experience. The five Adaptive Categories include:
- Bowlers with a Physical Disability
- Blind Bowlers
- Deaf Bowlers
- Bowlers with an Intellectual Disability
- Bowling Arm Bowlers
The single-entry format and random team allocation promote fairness, encouraging players to connect with new teammates and enjoy the competitive spirit.
Mixed Category Fours
For those seeking a more social experience, the Mixed Category Fours event provides the opportunity to play alongside bowlers from different categories, fostering camaraderie and understanding among participants.
Enjoy a Fully Supported Experience
To ensure everyone feels welcome and supported, the festival offers free entry and meals for participating players and directors. Auslan interpreters are available for Deaf participants, making this an accessible and enjoyable event for all.
