3. NCCP Regional Level 1 Evaluations

As the new NCCP becomes rolled out, the need for on court evaluations continues to grow. We are working towards group evaluations. Coaches thathave completed the Theory andPortfolio may contact Badminton Ontario to find out if there is an evaluation clinic available.

4. Club Marketing

During this summer, BadOnt will be putting together a marketing booklet giving a brief summary of all the private clubs in Ontario. This marketing tool will be available on the BadOnt website as well as used to promote our clubs through various media and third party organizations. Districts will be able to use this booklet as a one stop shop for all the clubs* in their district.

*Clubs which offer coaching on dedicated courts (including Grassroots, and HP) will only be included in this marketing campaign. Badminton Clubs which are noted in the Badminton Ontario Club Directory which are designated for playing only are not the target of this initiative. Clubs must be affiliated with their District to take advantage of this program.

The plan is to have a Google Map on the Badminton Ontario website with all the clubs that offer training pinned on the map. Parents or athletes looking for training can then get a birds' eye view of which clubs are closest to their residence, and then get a snapshot of the programs that each club offers.

If you would like your club to be included in this marketing promotion (at no cost), please reply to the Director of Coaching for the registration template. Deadline for submission is June 30. 2016.

Looking forward to seeing many of you this coming weekend at thet Badminton Ontario Congress and AGM.
