4-Year Budget

Guidance •

Ambition and enthusiasm – Do not embark on this journey unless you believe that this is the right thing to do to help develop performance players in your area and be part of the ambition to be the best badminton nation in the World by 2016.

•

Collaborative approach – Create a management group whereby all members make a contribution to the formulation of the plan. Plans written in isolation by 1 or 2 people are rarely successful and create problems when it comes to implementing the plan post accreditation. Collaborate with clubs, the County Badminton Association (CBA) and/or the County Schools Badminton Association (CSBA) and other relevant partners on the formulation of the plan.

•

Embracing change – Becoming a Performance Centre (PC) does involve acknowledging the need to change.

•

Identification of a Head Coach – A suitable Head Coach (HC) may be crucial to a successful application and will be critical to the implementation and success of the PC. It may be some PCs are better suited to having a HC who has strong organisational and people skills that lend themselves to the successful co-ordination and development of a team of coaches. Other PCs may choose to have a HC who is a high profile on-court performance coach, supported by other members of the coaching and management teams. The coaching team must include someone who can provide a performance perspective and someone who demonstrates highly developed organisational and people skills; this does not have to be the same person.

•

Be honest and open – In the “Where are we now” section provide an accurate reflection on where you are starting from. If the questions highlight areas you do not currently address or not as efficiently as you would like, then say so.

•

Setting 3-year goals – In the “Where do we need to get to?” section make sure you clearly understand what is being asked for and provide the relevant information as to “How” you will achieve each goal. This is your opportunity to communicate and present the vision for your PC. Please note the criteria/goals are the minimum requirements or progressive from the minimum requirements, and if you exceed or aim to extend the criteria then this can be demonstrated by amending the prescriptive goals accordingly.

•

BADMINTON England support (BE) – gain the clearest possible picture of what it will mean to become a PC and maximise the support available to you: • Working with the Regional Manager • Working with the nominated PC Advisor • Studying the PC Coaching & Mentoring Handbook

•

This is not the end but the beginning of the journey

Playing and Performance Programme

Where are we now? 4.1.1 Talent Identification

From a badminton perspective talent identification is concerned with the identification of people â&#x20AC;&#x153;who display high levels of competence in generic sporting abilities that underpin badminton specific skillsâ&#x20AC;?. Talent identification in its truest form is directed at groups who have had minimal exposure to badminton specific training. Bearing this in mind, briefly describe the systems you currently have in place to identify talent.

4.1.2 Talent Selection Talent selection is concerned with choosing players who have had some exposure to badminton specific training and who demonstrate a capability to learn skills and apply them successfully. These players stand out from their peers when training or competing in badminton. Briefly describe the talent selection system you currently have in place.

4.1.3 Club Pathway Describe the current club-based playing and coaching opportunities offered to senior and junior players. This should include: • • • • •
