Youth Leadership Award
The BWF Shuttle Time Youth Leadership Award offers a great opportunity to add to your skills and gain experience – it could be your first teaching qualification and will give you an insight into the career of badminton teachers, coaches, volunteers and technical officials.
The Shuttle Time Youth Leadership award has been designed to allow 15-18 year old school students the opportunity gain experience in sports leadership and badminton through a recognised Shuttle Time course. The award aims to provide students with the knowledge and support required to deliver fun, safe and enjoyable badminton lessons to groups of school pupils.
