Short Mat Bowls is a fantastic game to play to keep you active while meeting new friends. Join your local centre in Lincolnshire today.
Played indoors on a carpet with smaller and lighter bowls (compared to the outdoor bowls), Short Mat Bowls is a game of skill rather than strength and can be played by any age or ability. The sport isn’t an overly demanding exercise on your body, however playing regularly can improve the strength of muscles in your arms, shoulders and legs.
It is also mentally stimulating as each end will present fun challenges which you need to solve to beat your opponent.
