Benefits of OLBA Membership
The OLBA is a not-for-profit organization comprised of Member Clubs from across Ontario. It is the goal of the OLBA to foster the promotion of bowls, and maintain the operation of programs, events and championships.
There are numerous benefits to belonging to the Ontario Lawn Bowls Association (OLBA) for both clubs and bowlers.
Clubs receive essential support in areas such as insurance, funding, governance, and promotion, ensuring they can thrive. Meanwhile, bowlers gain access to high-quality coaching, competitions, and a strong social and recreational community.
By joining the OLBA or remaining a part of the OLBA, clubs and players can enjoy a well-structured, supportive, and exciting lawn bowling experience.
OLBA Membership Overview
Here is the 2025 Membership Overview using data from SAM (Sports Association Manager).
The OLBA Board used the data when we developed our updated Strategic Plan earlier this year and can be found on our website here. For example, knowing that almost half of our members have been bowling for two years or less informs our prioritization of programs to support new bowlers.
