Badminton coaching

[dungeonkeeper]

Can anyone point me in the right direction for finding a qualified coach that would be interested in running a session, or sessions, in the Manchester area? I am the chairman of a club, and several of the members have expressed a wish for some form of coaching.
Many thanks.
Tony.

Why not contact your County Secretary or Coaching Secretary?

[dungeonkeeper]

How would I go about finding out who they are?

[Alex]

i believe there is a "find a coach" section on www.baofe.co.uk try that maybe?

also i seem to remember a site called www.findmeacoach.com

try that

There is also a facility to find a coach here on badders.com - click on 'Suppliers.'

[Alex]

didnt know that.. but there u go... 3 means of finding a coach !! :-)

Response to Tony. Surely if you are a club, you are affiliated to BA of E, and will therefore have a copy of the Handbook with all relevant information.
If you are not affiliated, you may have trouble finding a registered coach.

Alex; thanks. I have several leads I can follow up now. I'll post again to inform on how I get on.

Can't find a database or list on the BAofE site. Am I missing it?

[Khalid]

I would hope that the BAofE would be able to put you in touch with the appropriate people. You would more then likely need to phone them up.

They are normally quite helpful.

Beware there are coaches out there who dont know how to hit a shuttle ;-(

I went to www.findmeacoach.co.uk
Found 3 in my area. Will be calling them tonight.

[dungeonkeeper]

Sorry, should have been www.findmeacoach.com

Make sure they are on BA of E Coaching Register, otherwise they may not have necessary qualifications or, potentially more importantly, insurance cover.
