Joining a professional organisation is critical in keeping abreast of the latest knowledge and practices locally, regionally, and nationally. It helps coaches to stay in touch with current issues and opportunities and assists in personal advancement for members who wish to become more involved.

The Insurance document is dated and starts from October 1st, which is why membership for the new year is always October 1st.  You may not need your insurance all year, but to assist us in budgeting for the year and grow the business to better support coaches, we respectfully ask you to pay this October and not wait until the start of your bowling year.
