The majority of people joining a lawn bowling club initially do so for its social aspects, with little thought of becoming involved in tournaments. Once their skill level improves and they find they enjoy the competition, they begin to compete in club tournaments. This is the first step in becoming a tournament bowler.

Membership in the San Diego Lawn Bowling Club affords the opportunity to compete on several levels. We offer tournaments in a variety of different formats during each calendar year. While spirited in competition, these beginning level tournaments offer the opportunity to develop the skills needed to compete at the division level and beyond.

Our club is part of the South West Division, one of seven divisions under Bowls USA . There are Southwest Division sanctioned tournaments nearly every weekend of the year happening all over Southern California. Club members may also play in the U.S. Open (Champions are crowned in Women’s Singles, Pairs, and Fours and Men’s Singles, Pairs and Fours) - and are eligible to participate in the division qualifying tournament to play at the U.S. National Championships (crowning both men's and women's champions in singles and pairs). Refer to www.swlawnbowls.org for the Southwest Division schedule.

Whatever level of competition you're interested in, your membership at the SDLBC is all that is needed to get started.
