Community Badminton Suffolk . . . . for juniors Suffolk Badminton Association and the Suffolk Badminton Development Group are pleased to announce the latest initiative to grow participation in the sport on a long term basis across the county. Later this year, Community Badminton Suffolk will be launched and follows successful launches in Oxfordshire, Avon and Dorset with others in the pipeline around the country. As part of the Suffolk Badminton Development Plan , SBA will be working in partnership with ‘Community Badminton’ to deliver a programme of coached sessions for grass root juniors between the ages of 5 and 13, with primary school pupils as the initial target group This initiative compliments part of the SBA Development Plan which has already proved successful with the new Badminton Hub at Skyliner in Bury St Edmunds which started last year in conjunction with Abbeycroft Leisure. Community Badminton is a ‘not for profit’ Organisation led by Director Julie Bradbury, an ex England International player with a wealth of experience in the sport. The organisation is supported by Badminton England and is focused on introducing players to the sport to grow long term participation. They will organise the sessions and seek to employ a local coach to deliver the programme in Suffolk. The programme will commence with up to 6 locations across the County where there is little or no badminton activity for these age groups. The initiative will look at an exit strategy to keep the players active in the sport by establishing links to senior clubs who are open to receiving junior players from the age of 13 who will already have some knowledge and experience of the game. There will be more information available on the Suffolk BA website and a dedicated Community Badminton Suffolk website very soon but if you want to learn more now about this new junior initiative or perhaps get involved, please contact : Mike Tee, Chair Suffolk Badminton Association, Tel 07740839617 email chair@suffolkbadminton.co.uk Supported by Suffolk Badminton Association |
