The National Association Swiss Bowls has been in existence since 2012.
Bowls was introduced in Switzerland as a summer use for curling halls. The bowls balls with an eccentric center of gravity run on a curve track and therefore bowls are similar/related to curling. In addition, curling facilities/infrastructures are also ideal for (temporary) bowls use, which with relatively low initial investments (from approx. CHF 4,000/Rink) is already feasible. The bowls scene in Switzerland wants to continue to grow in order to become better in terms of sport and more internationally competitive.
