Activities

There are two main differences between Short Mat Bowls and Indoor Bowls. Firstly, Short Mat Bowls is played on a much smaller scale, so the mat is smaller. Secondly, there is a wooden block in the middle of the mat, known as the ‘blocker’. Any bowl that touches the block is declared ‘dead’, removing the option of driving at the head.

No great physical effort is required to play Short Mat Bowls and the dress code is more relaxed, the only suggestion being to wear comfortable, loose clothing so as not to restrict movement. The only requirement is to wear clean, flat soled indoor shoes.
