Disability Badminton Course

BADMINTON England is now running the 'Disability Badminton Coaching Course', which has been developed by the Four Nations Badminton Committee. The course aims to equip coaches with knowledge about the functional ability of disabled players when constructing and implementing practices and skill development sessions. It is aimed at coaches currently working with disabled athletes or coaches wanting further information on how to make their sessions more inclusive.

 

The course outcomes are as follows:

? to provide information about Disability classifications - laws and rules as identified by ‘Parabadminton World Federation’ (PBWF) and recognised and endorsed by the Badminton World Federation (BWF).
? to provide candidates with the skills and ideas appropriate to providing safe, progressive and enjoyable badminton sessions for individuals with disabilities, for the following categories.
       - Wheelchair badminton
       - Standing badminton (Upper and Lower Limb)
       - Learning Disability badminton
? to provide candidates with knowledge about how to make adaptations to coaching badminton technique

 

At the end of the course coaches will be able to put their new coaching knowledge into practice when players with physical, sensory and learning impairments are invited to attend a badminton festival as part of the course.

 

The course is two days in duration and is open to all coaches that hold a Level 2 (or above) badminton qualification. Coaches should be actively coaching in either a disability or non-disability setting. The cost of the course is £120 per coach.

For further information on where and when these courses are running, please see the course list below.

Going Fast 

Sport Across Staffordshire is Proud to Announce the launch of it's Disability Training Programme

The Aiming High Workforce bid has enabled Sport Across Staffordshire & Stoke-on-Trent to develop a clear pathway that allows for development of coaches, volunteers, support staff, parents etc.

 The structure will incorporate existing courses but will allow for the development and introduction of newly created courses. The pathway has been split into three clear levels. These levels give the participants an understanding of what level the courses is structured at.

 

The three levels are:

 

?        Generic

?        Focused

?        Specific

 

The Generic courses are a great introduction to disability sport and give you an overview and understanding of some of the considerations to think about when working with disabled people.

 

The Focused courses look at a type of impairment and look at some of the disabilities within each section. These courses go more in depth and these courses are designed for people who have attended the Generic courses or are already working with disabled participants.

 

The Specific Courses are totally focused on one particular disability. These courses will go in to detail about a specific disability and the considerations and issues around sport with that particular disability. These courses are designed for people who are already working with a specific disability or wish to work with a particular disability and have attended the Generic and Focused courses.
