The sport of Bowls can be played by almost anyone, with or without a disability.
Bowls can be played in many formats, singles, pairs, triples and fours. It can be played in teams of whatever number you wish. Bowls can be played competitively at local, national and international level or can be a social pastime, whatever you want. Bowlers with a disability can compete with or against non-disabled bowlers in most situations.
