Coaching Workshops
In addition to education courses we offer workshops and programmes for coaches of all levels to support them in their work. We look to run workshops in club & regionally to cut down on travelling for coaches allowing them to access support in their local area. Overall the last few years we have delivered different workshops across the province focusing on different aspects of the game, such as Footwork to Music, Player Centred Coaching and Technique Development.
Excel Coach Development Programme
The EXCEL CDP aims to provide badminton coaches based in the Province of Ulster with individualised support to enhance their coaching strengths and develop areas which can be improved. To do this, we follow the process below
- Getting to know you
- Understanding your context
- Facilitating reflection
- Experiencing challenge
- Supporting change
Throughout the process outlined above, the group of coaches and coach developers will work together to highlight challenges that coaches currently face and work to find potential solutions, the group will develop knowledge and understanding of badminton by participating in a range of on-court & off-court activities and apply new skills in their coaching context.
For 2025/26, the programme will focus on schools and clubs coaching and we invite Shuttle Time & Level 1 coaches operating across the Province to apply and engage in the programme. For further information contact our Development Officer Kyle Dunn
