We are organizing a course for Coaches : ShuttleTime

COURSE DESCRIPTION:  ShuttleTime is a new NCCP teacher and recreation instructional coach certification course developed by the Badminton World Federation and adapted by Badminton Canada.  The NCCP Shuttle Time certification is for school teachers, recreation center instructors or coaches, new or inexperienced instructors or coaches.  Even instructors or coaches who have many years of experience will find useful information in this course.

We are currently working very hard with the BC government to ensure that we are taking the appropriate course of action to safely restart badminton play in our community. 

ViaSport has been tasked by Minister Beare and the Ministry of Tourism, Arts and Culture to coordinate the sport sector's return to play and to assist us in developing a proposal that adheres to public health guidelines specific to our sport. Once reviewed, ViaSport will submit these proposals for approval by the Office of the Provincial Health Officer. The process will ensure that our community is coordinated in its efforts to prioritize the health and safety of our athletes, staff and community. 

Below are some resources and documents that are important to Badminton players during the reopening times.

Here is the updated BC Restart Plan timeline for your reference.

Thank you for supporting Badminton BC during this season! We are giving back to our community during this time with a series of free online videos made in partnership with SJBC so that athletes can continue their training while maintaining proper social distancing through the safety of their own homes.
