Canterbury Youth Bowls Academy - CYBA 

The CYBA programme is proudly created and driven by Tayla Bruce, supported by Bowls Canterbury.  Tayla recognised an opportunity to provide a higher level of coaching for our youth and has been running these sessions at Burnside Bowling Club once a month during the season for anyone aged from 10-20 years old. It is designed to develop players' high-performance skills.

This is an opportunity for youth bowlers in Canterbury to connect and receive coaching, as well as play some fun games against each other. All levels of ability are welcome, so we encourage you to bring along a friend.
