Overview:
As the
governing body of badminton
all through England, BAofE
serves as the main conduit
of information about the
sport to enthusiasts. BAofE
administers coaching courses,
provides books and informational
videos to advance the sport
in the country. BAofE likewise
strives to encourage and
develop the best players
from all levels
– grassroots, local leagues,
country organizations, national
squad – to progress
to international play. Among
its medium-term goals include
becoming a “best practice”
example of an equitable national
governing body of badminton.
BAofE aims to do this by improving
on areas of gender, disability,
and race. Moreover, BAofE
works hard to produce a roster
of top international players –
winning medals and titles in
major international competitions.
Currently, BAofE is implementing
intensive training to its
players, as its latest action
plan specifies one important
goal: to have a medal-winner
in each event in the World
Championships in 2005.
