Our coaching structure is closely linked into the BUI’s programme which is supported by Coaching Ireland.
Coaching courses are available for (a) Tutors, (b) Level 3, (c) Level 2, (d) Level 1, (e) Instructor and (f) Beginner – level 0. These courses are held in various locations and run by qualified Tutors. They are run on a ‘demand’ basis. Anyone interested in taking a coaching award indicate your interest and contact details to be kept informed.
Details of courses will also be advertised on this and Badminton Ireland websites.
Coaches please note. If you qualified before 2005, it is now time to take a refresher course, for insurances purposes, to remain on the current Badminton Ireland coaches list.
Clubs please note. It is up to each individual club using a coach to make sure the coach is on the current Badminton Ireland coaches list and registered as per Badminton Ireland Code of Conduct for Children’s Sport.
The Instructors Award has been introduced for those working within their clubs who wish to enhance their coaching skills. It can be treated as a stand alone course or as
a stepping stone for those who wish to go on to the Level 1 Course but do not
have the playing experience necessary. The Branch would actively encourage clubs to consider getting at least one of their members to take this qualification as a means of raising the skills of their members.
