BW are delighted to have coaches of the quality of Raj and Emma out in the community delivering high quality sessions and have BW staff committed to their own development.
Many coaches see the certificate as the end point but, especially, Raj and Emma have shown their desire to constantly look to improve for the benefit of those who coach. Two more outstanding coaches working hard to make badminton better for everyone, Raj and Emma are at the forefront of delivery in both Gwent and Swansea regions.
