Primary & Secondary - Badminton
Cork Sports Partnership and Badminton Ireland are teaming up to roll out a new Schools Badminton Programme in 2018. The programme aims to overcome the initial barriers of introducing badminton into a school environment by; educating teachers to coach Badminton, providing teachers with equipment and session plans to deliver the game, offering social blitz competitions for the students while also developing club-school links.

In return for full commitment to the programme, participating schools will receive a FREE Badminton Resource Pack which will include: 15 rackets, racket bag, shuttlecocks and net.
Schools who send 2 or more teachers to the Teacher Training Day will receive 2 Badminton Resource Packs.
Details:
- Start Date: Teacher Training Day Feb/March 2019
- Venue: TBC
- Time: 10am - 4pm
- Cost: €50 per school for training day
