Skip Selection
Types of Skips and the Continuum
Leadership: Success in leadership depends ultimately on how well and how effectively the skip interacts with the team. Leadership in its simplest sense is the capacity of the skip to direct and coordinate the positional abilities of the team by the use of tactical manoeuvres combined with the employment in attack, defence and recovery. It is essentially a position of power, but in lawn bowls demands consent and compliance from talented and highly individualistic bowlers. Leadership style will vary according to the personality of the skip and the playing standard of the team.
