This course is formed of a Core Module and a Club Specialism Module.
Our new Coach course provides the opportunity to train to coach independently through a bespoke learning journey, tailored to coaches' own environments.

- Provide technical information building on the fundamental hitting and movement principles covered at foundation level
- Maximise the participant experience
- Effectively lead the development of clubs/ sessions
- Effectively utilise a coaching team (where present)

- Racket Pack
- Understand the badminton landscape
Why do this course?
Interested in joining the fulfilling world of helping people to develop new skills in their sport? Coaching can be a hugely satisfying experience, where you can decide how much time you commit. Whether it is delivering Racket Pack sessions at your local primary school, introducing the basics of the game through Essentials to adult beginners or setting up your own badminton club, coaching can work for you. Watching players develop their skills under your guidance is incredibly rewarding, but don't overlook the benefits you'll see personally. You'll develop your personal and professional skills, get a chance to exercise, meet new people, encourage respectful behaviour and improve your confidence.
