The winter badminton season has just begun in the Bay of Plenty and teachers and coaches around the region will have the opportunity to participate in the Shuttle Time programme delivered by Bay Trust Coach Force.
Shuttle Time is an innovative schools training programme developed by Badminton World Federation (BWF). It offers training resources to help teachers and coaches develop the skills, knowledge and confidence to deliver safe and fun badminton lessons.
The programme will be delivered by me and Bay of Plenty KiwiSport Badminton Officer Lynda Donne.
A great aspect of Shuttle Time is its use of digital media. It includes nearly 100 activity-based video clips which really complement the traditional hard copy resources such as manuals and lesson plans.
Badminton World Federation Development Manager Ian Wright says: "The strength of this programme lies in how it harnesses a range of web-based training resources to make learning effective and possible for teachers and coaches to access anywhere in the world".
