We are pleased to open the application process for the ADVANCE European Badminton Coaching Education, developed through the ADVANCE project, which is supported by the EU through the Erasmus+ programme.
Over a period of 10 months, up to 16 participants will meet 4 times in different European locations for the physical coaching courses, in addition to virtual learning and self-study.
Advance Badminton Coaching Education through the development of a European Badminton Coaching Framework (ADVANCE) addresses the topic of the promotion of education in and through sport with a special focus on skills development, as well as support the implementation of the EU guidelines on Dual Careers of Athletes. The project addresses this topic as it seeks to develop and improve badminton coaching education at European level.
This project also foresees a training needs analysis that will be the foundation for the advancement of badminton coaching education, the development of a framework for badminton coaching education, the development of pedagogic materials (guide for instructors and online platform) to successfully develop an Advanced Badminton Coaching Education.
