MLBA invites Garo Hills athletes for Lawn Bowls training ahead of National Games

Tura, July 16: The Meghalaya Lawn Bowls Association (MLBA) has invited interested men and women from the Garo Hills region to take up Lawn Bowls, a precision sport that will feature in the 39th National Games 2027.

Lawn Bowls is played on a flat grass or synthetic surface where players roll slightly weighted bowls with the aim of getting them as close as possible to a smaller target ball known as the “jack.”

The sport emphasizes accuracy, strategy and consistency rather than physical strength, making it suitable for people of all ages.

The association is looking to identify 12 athletes from the Garo Hills region, comprising six men and six women aged 25 years and above, to participate in a Training Camp and Selection Trials to be held in Shillong from July 27 to August 1, 2026.

Selected participants will undergo training and assessment as part of Meghalaya’s preparations for the National Games.

The last date for submission of applications is July 22, 2026. Interested candidates may contact Ms. R. Swett, General Secretary of the Meghalaya Lawn Bowls Association, at 9089670239 or 8415943333, or email [[email protected]](mailto:[email protected]) for further details.

The association has appealed to the people of Garo Hills to share the information widely and encourage eligible sportspersons to come forward and participate in the selection process.
