Coaches
The BJBC is recognized across the province as a "badminton hot-spot" due to its fantastic reputation, which can be attributed to Coach Edith Hayman. This recognition draws other top players and coaches to Brantford to spar with our players, train with our coaching staff and attend our renowned Camps.
Our club has some high powered coaches! Mrs. Edith Hayman, club founder, is a "Master Course Conductor for Canada" (there is one per province) and her mandate is to develop coaches, thus our club has more than the normal number of Nationally Certified Coaches.
Our NCCP coaching staff includes: Kristina Hall (High Performance), Jason Purdy, Victoria Hall, Evan Dahms, Torri VanSpronsen, Jacob Lewis, Chris Farley, Sarah Fuller and Evan MacDonald. Many of our coaches have both competed and coached at the school, district, provincial and national levels, are First Aid/CPR certified and are constantly involved in upgrading and expanding their training in youth and athlete development.
Several of our wonderful coaches will be on hand during Saturday morning coaching sessions, offered weekly for an additional $8.00 per player. For players interested, especially any players who would like to compete provincially, Private Coaching is available in addition to the group coaching provided. Information and arrangements can be made with Kristina: bjbc2010@hotmail.com
