Badminton BC Coach Accreditation Badges are an on-court physical sign to officials that a coach is accredited with Badminton BC.  They are ordered once per year in August, just after the start of each new season.  They are for all coaches that may be coaching, or assisting a head coach, at a Junior A, Junior B and/or Open series and/or provincial championship competitions.  Badminton BC Referees and Umpires will be ensuring only those coaches with proper accreditation [as demonstrated with badges] access the field of play based on event eligibility requirements.

Badminton BC Coach Accreditation Badges are:

• Recognition of professional standards
• Recognition of a commitment to the professionalization of coaching and the Responsible Coaching Movement and Badminton Canada's Safe Sport Initiatives
• A benefit of membership
• Access to the field of play (courts) to coach players
