For the serious amateur ...

Welcome to coaches and players who are looking to improve themselves. This section of our web is dedicated to you. You are more than the casual player. It is determined and conscientious people like you that make our sport strong.

So, in this section of our website you will find contributions from like-minded people, active dialog about techniques and what is effective. You will have the ability to register yourself if you are a qualified coach who has come to the area. You will find training resources for qualifying or taking further qualifications as a coach.

This section has two purposes, to help those looking for coaching and to help those willing to give up their time to coach.
Coaches Students
  • Step 1 - Register so that we know about you. Tell us your experience and what level you are willing / able to coach.
  • Step 2 - Formalize your ability by taking a qualification through the Caffrey program and get certified as a USAB coach.
  • Step 3 - Use the chat room, share your experiences with other coaches.
  • Step 4 - If you are willing, send us materials that you have found work well for you. Good programs will attract more players to the sport and grow the base of players looking to be coached. Sharing this wealth helps all coaches in their pursuit of excellence, and for those of you who supplement your income by teaching, the larger the pool of players the more opportunity for you to teach.
  • Step 1 - Find some like-minded players to play with. Even if it means traveling further.
  • Step 2 - Play with as wide a selection of people as you can.
  • Step 3 - Observe. Badminton is a highly technical sport requiring great motor coordination. The better your stroke production the stronger you will become.
  • Step 4 - Find a good Coach and work with them regularly.
  • Step 5 - Work on your fitness. No matter how good you are, improving your stamina and physical strength will make you better.
  • Step 6 - Play competitively as often as you feel able. You will learn much more from serious competition rather than simple club play.
