Kicking up a racket!!…

Badminton for disabled players was recognised in 1996, with the establishment of the International Badminton Association for the Disabled. In 2010 the name was changed to the Parabadminton World federation and in June 2011 was fully integrated into the Badminton World Federation.
The 'Kicking up a Racket' Parabadminton activity programme coaching resource has been designed to follow the style of the original 'Kicking up a Racket' coaching resource. It is intended to help coaches, leaders and helpers with a series of lessons designed to meet the demands of children and young adults. "I don't do anything different to what i do with main stream players. I can do the same routines and training depending on their ability" David Gillespie, LD Coach.
 "Don't be afraid to get involved coaching dwarf players; it isn't any different from coaching any other player" Tim Shepherd, Dwarf Sports Association                                                                                For more information about Parabadminton and 'Kicking up a Racket' visit www.badmintonengland.co.uk
