Become a Coach Program

Our Programs

The Beginner Level Badminton Coach Program not only enhances the technical skills a good coach requires, but also provides them with a holistic view of the world of coaching. Along with on-court requirements, it is important for any coach to have off-court soft skills as well. The 'Become a Coach' Program trains and equips coaches with all the knowledge and expertise one needs to be a successful and skilled badminton coach.
