Wheelchair bowlers regularly compete in able-bodied pennants and club championships, as there are no rule differences for wheelchair Lawn Bowls. However wheelchair bowlers must have wider tyres to prevent damage to the greens to be allowed to compete.

At National and International competitions wheelchair bowlers compete in one of two classes: LB1 or LB2. Class 1 bowlers have limited function in upper and lower extremities, while Class 2 bowlers have some form of disability in the lower limbs only.

A special glove is allowed for quadriplegics to assist in releasing the bowl. Bowlers are classified as either a 1A, 1B or 1C for quadriplegics or from class 2 up to class 6 for other disabilities. 1A being the least able and class 6 being the most able.

Bowlers must have special wheels to prevent damage to the greens.
