Under the coaching supervision of India's senior national coach a trip of a lifetime. Sanjay Sharma with a team of 3, has been India's coaching team for last 5 years, including the All England 2002 and Seville world championships in 2001. Through Badders.com a group of 10 players are offered a 1 month badminton extravaganza in India. A trip to one of the world's most exotic locations. Read on for more information. This package includes: 3 hours of playing/training 5 times a week 30 days of lodging/boarding in well furnished, air-conditioned apartment/hotel All shuttles(Yonex or Ashways brands) Two days side trip to Goa to soak up the sunshine on most exotic locales/beaches Two days side-trip to see the worlds most famous monument The Taj Mahal. (Both trips by Air-conditioned Train with sleeper coaches) At least 3 friendly matches with clubs in Mumbai or Pune or elsewhere at our expenses. A half day to witness a filmshoot at Bollywood with Indian filmstars. At an additional cost we will offer massage three times a week, weight training and Yoga under expert guidance twice a week. So which ever way you look at it, it is a fabulous offer at a very reasonable price of US $1500 (per player). Additonal activities cost $100 extra. The Badminton training and practice will be of high quality and so will the trips to Goa and the Taj. The best climate in Bombay for players will be in December/January/February. However if you do not mind braving the heat and humidity of rest of the year, we will be happy to host players. All the group has to do is to fly over bringing with you, a personal medical insurance policy and a sense of adventure and we will do the rest to ensure that all players have a most memorable experience in this exotic country. We need a group of minimum 8 or 10 players so that Badders.com players will have their own group to inter-act with and play against other teams. If a one month "Badminton Holiday" is too long we can work out a two or three weeks package at a lesser cost. But in my opinion, 30 days is ideal since at least 5 days will be spent in travelling to Agra(Taj Mahal) and Goa by Train. (or the group can also travel by plane at their own cost) Thank You Sanjay Sharma Senior National Badminton Coach Secretary Trig Sports Trust
